    • Some value in pursuing a v5.1 to eliminate ambiguity between v4.2/v5.0 (see PR#514 changelog items for errors corrected in v5.1)
    • Need to review other items and drift items (note openpmix may deprecate some things, which could eliminate some items from this “drift” list).  Would be good to dedicate time to triage the drift list and identify the what should remain and what would fit into v5.1 or future.
