If you do a "git diff v.4.9.1 v5.0.0" there are a lot of obvious regressions
from 4.9.1 to 5.0.0. The most immediately noticeable is the reintroduction of
dozens (maybe hundreds) of typos in documentation, change logs, code comments,
etc.

But it appears to be more than that. Looking "git log -p v.4.9.1..v.5.0.0"
there seems to be a whole series of bug fixes and commits left out because
5.0.0 was not based on 4.9.1 at all.

I understand there are a lot of changes in version 5 and not every patch in
4.9.1 is applicable, but I couple I looked into seemed to be true regressions.
I'm not familiar enough with the code to make a fair judgement.

But the many regressions in documentation and comments make it pretty clear
that this was not (or should not have been) intentional.
