[publican-list] Publican 3.0 -- with DocBook 5 or without?

[Joshua Wulf]

What about the timing of Docbook 5.1? When does that go gold?

I remember Rudi saying that the Docbook x.0 releases are for testing,
and the x.1 release is the first production-recommended one.

Does a "Publican with DB 5 support" give us "Publican with DB 5.1
support" automatically? Or is there another round of work involved in that?
