WebSphere version 6.0 - when's will it release?

Today I discovered that WebSphere is one of the first appservers to support J2EE 1.4. Too bad it's a developer release and not a real release. At my current project, we've been developing on Tomcat 4.1.29 (and MySQL) because it's the only platform I've tested AppFuse on. We plan to migrate to WebSphere and DB2 in the coming months. They currently have a license for WebSphere 4.x, which I heard sucks - especially (IMO) because it only supports Servlets 2.2 and JSP 1.1. Luckily, the app we're deploying to production will be the first Java-based webapp, so we will hopefully be able to use WebSphere 5.1.

I just wish 6.0 was out as a real release, then we could start using JSP 2.0 and leave all those damn <c:out value="..."/>'s behind.
