I think that the few warnings on "http://download.plt-scheme.org/"; might
alarm some people unnecessarily.
Someone just saw that page and was concerned that we might be using in
production something that is no longer maintained/supported. Which is
considered very bad in some circles.
I explained the rebranding, assured him that we are still getting
support for our use of 4.x, and that we can move to 5.x whenever is
convenient.
Perhaps the warnings could be rephrased? Maybe tell people they
probably want to get the latest, rebranded version, without scaring
anyone who has 4.x in production?
(More context on production users moving between versions... The changes
to move from 4.2.5 to 5.0 should be few and small for us, but moving
between versions makes people nervous and takes considerable testing
effort. Also, each move to a new Racket version for us has to fit with
our own release schedules and ebb and flow of available resources, so
there will be a lag on uptake even when we see something in the latest
Racket version that we would like to be using immediately and we expect
no big problems by moving.)
