This comment is a bit nasty.  The author you were replying to was talking
about the Manx upgrade from version 3.6 to version 5.  This upgrade is 
supposedly a major upgrade including new features, as opposed to the Lattice
upgrade which was a bugfix upgrade.  Was the upgrade from lattice version 3.3
(or whatever it was) to version 5 FREE? I doubt it.

On the other hand I admit you are 100% on the nose when you say that Lattice
has surpassed Manx in terms of features and support.  As a Manx owner (I'll
bet you guessed that :) I feel that if Manx V5 does not surpass Lattice V5,
I'll make the switch.
