* Anyone have an update on EOL for and/or another push for migrating 3.5.x users up to 3.6?  20,692,474 adu's on 3.5.x yesterday.  3.6 has 97% addon compatibility so that shouldn't be a concern.  There are a few significant bugs that are technically infeasible to backport so we should figure out how to get users off 3.5.x as soon as possible.
