Of course not. :-) What I wanted to say was that the beta releases would work with the R5 kernel (and not necessarily all of them). I forsee something like what happened with BONE - betas of new kernels coming out, bundled with the pieces that are inextricably tied to it. BONE came with BoneYard, for example, and should have come with a new printing kit. Our kernel might well come with a new IK, since the old IK was joined unnaturally to the old kernel.
