Andy,
FYI, I spend almost 3 hours last night looking over the documentation for Gantry 5. It looks really good. I could not find a 'bundle' download, just the component and the template.
As it is a separate framework, then I am assuming you can install Gantry 5 framework / templates on a site that has the Gantry 4 framework installed with no conflicts for existing live sites. Am I correct? I installed it on a development site and it defaulted to the Gantry 5 Hydrogen template. I changed it back to my Gantry 4 template but the home page is still displaying the Hydrogen template, yet if you click to one of the menu options, it displays using the Gantry 4 template.
Just to let you know, on the http://gantry.org/blog page, that page is not responsive on Firefox 37.+ or IE 11.+ even though if you click the 'read more' button on one of the articles, the article display page is responsive. It is responsive on Chrome 42.+. The problem is the image used on the main blog page (the one of the 4 different views). It stays fixed at 1280 px even though the CSS shows max-width:100%;. You might want to check on that area.

- Still learning G5 myself... since G5 is both an active component and a template manager I would think you'd want to disable the G5 component when toggling back to a G4 template... does disabling the component restore your homepage to the G4 template?

Matt,
You can't disable the component as it shows as 'Protected' and if you click the checkbox, then click 'Disable' it states "Edit state is not permitted.". So I unpublished the template and the home page now shows up withe the Gantry 4.0 template which is set as the 'Default'. If you set the Gantry 4 template as the default template, the Gantry 5 template and/or component should NOT override that setting for the home page. Another problem. The home page doesn't display as it did before I installed Gantry 5 template and component. The menu, showcase, feature sections on the home page are not showing. So I uninstalled all Gantry 5 installs and now I get a "Error: 404 - Component not found." So I uninstalled the Hydrogen template, clear the Joomla cache, browser cache, and refreshed my home page. No luck. However, once I navigated to another menu option and went back to the home page, it displays normally.
Ya'll need to work on that.

i think the problem is that when you install g5 it auto creates a menu and sets it as default
I reckon you need to change the default menu in your Menu Manager -

Matt,
Resetting the default 'home' menu link fixed it. Thanks.
Just curious but why wasn't the Hydrogen menu uninstalled when I uninstalled the Hydrogen template?
FYI, if the Hydrogen template is uninstalled, the installation process should automatically reset the home default link. Now I know you're thinking, which other 'home' link. Well, I can't really tell you that but, at the very least, there should be a warning on uninstalling the Hydrogen template that the 'default' home link should be changed from the Hydrogen menu.

- Unfortunately uninstalling templates in Joomla is broken and they do not allow us to run uninstall script to remove the menu we added before. I've already fixed 2 other bugs which should be in J! 3.4.2, but not had time to fix this one.
- Gantry 5, enjoy!

Matt,
No problem. It's RC-1 and there's bound to be a few hiccups to be discovered as more and more people start trying it out. I have total faith in the Gantry Development Team and Gantry 5 v1.0.0 will be as good as Gantry '1' v1.0.0.
Remember, Rome wasn't built in a day...but it burned down in one while Nero fiddled. I hope none of the Development Team plays a fiddle! LOL

- How do you switch back to the original main menu? I thought you could just check it in menu manager and select default, but I can't see that option anywhere?
