Given the quantity of things being enhanced in 4.9, and the work that is going
into it, the huge changes, like the great tag breakout, the new UI page editor,
and the new menu editor, I would really be suprised to see 5.0 this year. (Given
there is basicly 90 days left in this year, not meaning that as a hack at the
dev group.)

So I wouldn't run 4.9 on a server yet, and I wouldn't wait for 5.0 to be released.
