Where is Netscape 5

Hmm - seems we haven't had a good debate here in ages!

I'll admit M$ threw a spanner in the works of the Netscape version 
progression, but when checking out a few old links the other day I 
rediscovered this article from the guru of the internet:

   http://www.useit.com/alertbox/990418.html

   "A particularly interesting aspect of the predictions is that Netscape 5 
is a 'lost generation'"

I was always cynical about Netscape's inability to bring out V5 because a 
successful browser would have hampered their case against 
Microsoft.  However, could this article (or perhaps this way of thinking) 
have influenced their numbering system?
