I know the development team is furiously working to get 5.6 out the door
so I understand that there will be delays. However, it was my
understanding that "Critical" security updates and those that are
"remotely exploitable" would be pushed out ahead of 5.6.

If 5.6 is not forthcoming I think many of us would like to see at least
the security updates to cover potential vulnerabilities.

Many thanks to the development team for all their hard work! :-)
