[OX User] What is this?

Hm ... I just actually took a look at OX6 (had seen the adds for the 1&1
 OX hosting before, but just supposed it was a changed front end template).

After having customers with both SLOX4 & OX 0.7.5 (which I managed to
migrate to 0.8.0(6) and 0.8.2, the latter without too much of a hassle),
I do have to say the new version looks ... well, different at least,
promising too. And with all the trouble I have run into with two
different ways of storage (LDAP & PGSQL), as well as current problems
with massive LDAP process CPU (which I haven't figured out) and combined
with my rather extensive knowledge and familiarity w/ MySQL, I'm the
last to complain if OX ends up using MySQL ...

Though, of course, I would also much more prefer an official migration
path! Migrating from 0.7.5 to 0.8.0 (for which an official migration was
never promissed, rather the opposite) was a major PITA ... took me quite
a while, and I think I got a couple minor things wrong which I can't
correct easily anymore. I do not look forward to another such experience ...

Given that there are most likely quite a few commercial OX5 users out
there, I suppose there is at least a migration path being prepared for
that version ... guess all that's needed is for it to be either released
to the public along with the others tools they seem to have released
now, or someone clever with too much time at hand will have to sit down
and build a how-to or a script ...

Any word as to the stability of the new OX6?
