I stopped sending in most crash reports since I thought all work was 
being devoted to 5 and not stabilizing 4.5. Given the fee structure, I 
could see people sticking with a stable 4.5.1, but not with an unstable 
4.5 and not upgrading to a licensed 5.
Now it seems that there may be a 4.5.1, but maybe not soon.
What is the goal? Is it to have everyone upgrade to 5, leave 4.5 
behind, and collect revenue from only those benevolent souls who don't 
feel unrequited in this a-la-Intuit-bug fix/upgrade approach? Or is it 
to offer value in exchange for funds already received?

I've stuck with OW (since the magnesium box days) since I'm immeshed in 
my bookmarks structure and have been led on by the hope of the 
participatory fun of sneakypeaks and because I like the way the OG 
folks did business. I say "did" because I may be changing my mind about 
the later part. In addition, there has been no sneakypeak fun, and now 
I will be asked to pay (but not obliged at least) to completely 
reorganize my bookmarks for the sake of stability.

Please redeem yourselves. Upgrade 4.5 users to 5, or leave us with a 
stable 4.5.1.
