Can't you tell I'm not the only one getting bogged down by the slowness, lack of testing and no communication?
I haven't been. I haven't upgraded a production site to 5.0 yet, but I did do a 4.8.4 upgrade direct to 5.0 in my testing, without any issues that haven't already been logged, and for the most part, addressed.
If you are upgrading to 5.0 from anything prior to 4.9, you are asking for problems. 5.0 shouldn't even be available for download.

Facts are facts. I'm not attempting anything with 5.0 until 5.0.1 and then I will do a test upgrade and report the results.
Then why do you even care about problems reported with 5.0? A response like that just labels you as a troll, possibly reducing the amount of help you'll get in the future. Productive and helpful posts benefit everyone, especially the poster themself.
As for myself, I haven't upgraded a DNN production site to a major release for at least several minor releases past the original. That's from 2.x to 3.x, 3.x to 4.x and now 4.x to 5.x. But then, my production servers are still running on Server 2003, I'm only this month getting equipment in where Server 2008 will be installed for production use.
