Release untethered 5.1 Jb now or wait for iOS 6? (poll)

Pod2g is asking the public for their opinion on this matter. Would you rather have the JB now and potentially wait longer for a 6.0 JB, or just save the known exploits for a speedy ios 6 JB?

I personally prefer to have the JB now. ios 6 wont be out for a while, and theres no guarantee that the current exploits will work on it. Might as well use them now.

I'd use it now for the reasons mentioned above - 6 is a long way off and it's possible the hole will be closed the time it's released by just accident or internal security audit.

No one here thinks they should save the exploits for ios 6?

I did. Not really much difference in 5.1 vs 5.0.1
I am happy with how 5.0.1 is running and don't really care for the new update.

Does seem like a long way off for iOS 6 though. Probably in the fall with the new iPhone?
 
I still use an iPad 1, and iOS 5 is really laggy on it, so I don't really care. I suppose release it now while I can use it, since my device won't get 6.

Well there are two big advantages to releasing the 5.1 jailbreak now. The first is that Apple no longer signs 5.0.1, meaning if you have to restore your device through itunes for whatever reason, you're forced to update to 5.1 (unless you saved the 5.0.1 blobs back when it was possible). And since everything you buy from Apple now comes with 5.1 pre-installed, new customers have no possible way to jailbreak their devices (besides tethered jb for old A4 devices.)

The other big advantage to releasing it now is allowing new ipad owners to finally JB their ipads. There is big potential for customization in the new ipad, especially with its 1GB RAM. And new ipad owners will have to wait 6+ months for a jailbreak if the developers decide to save the exploits.
 
I'd like a jailbreak as much as anyone, but teasing people is just a sign of being a dick.
He should just release what he has, when he feels like it. No need to make people beg.
