It worked on earlier 5.x, though.

Yes, I meant 5.3 :-)

So what's state is (g)vinum likely to be in for 5.3? I'm hesitant to
upgrade because it appears that the system is moving from under vinum's
feet, and gvinum isn't there yet. What are people who are currently
using vinum on earlier 5.x's going to do until gvinum is finished?

Cheers,
