I think we are working towards it at this point, but you know how this works: Users become Contributors become Committers :-) Here's the list of issues still open for 0.6 so far: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAHOUT/fixforversion/12316364 (I'm still holding out hope for some big LDA improvements too, but they aren't slated yet) Patches are welcome!
