This was directly from Tom Hogarty the Lightroom product manager posted specifically to clarify the confusion created by the answers given in DPReview's interview.

I have Elements 9 and CS6 and prefer Elements 9 most of the time because it's faster and easier to use.

The two on the Journal are to clear up those "unfortunate" words in the interview.

http://blogs.adobe.com/lightroomjournal/2013/05/lightroom-and-the-creative-cloud.html "Q. Will there be features of Lightroom 5 that are exclusive to Creative Cloud members? A. No."

What I said is factual.

Yeah, it's different. Just because you have a browser doesn't mean you have a Gmail account. If you do, your browser has added functionality. Subscribing to Adobe's cloud services might similarly...

LR5 is a regular release, just like the previous four versions.The added functionality makes perfect sense, right? Like if you are a Facebook user you can use the included Facebook publish service...

It has the ACR code pipeline built in.  It doesn't use the ACR plugin, nor is LR even capable of using any PS plugins. No, it's not.  It's integrated.  I'm using a computer right now that has no...

Yes. Yes.  It's about to be released (the beta expires at the end of June, and Tom Hogarty said it will soon be released) and it's not part of the Creative Cloud since it wasn't part of the...

Lightroom doesn't - just a serial number.

True enough.  I asked.  It helps to know people.

Both are wrong. LR 5 will have normal dot releases and LR6 will be under development during the LR5 cycle, as always.--Lee Jay(see profile for equipment)

No, only one version. The post on the journal was put up after the DPR interview to clear up these "unfortunate" words that are easily misinterpreted.--Lee Jay(see profile for equipment)

Forget the words. There's only one version.--Lee Jay(see profile for equipment)

The point is there is only one version.--Lee Jay(see profile for equipment)

There are no plans for a CC version of LR.--Lee Jay(see profile for equipment)

I'm right. See the bottom of the thread or go to LR Journal.--Lee Jay(see profile for equipment)

http://blogs.adobe.com/lightroomjournal/2013/05/lightroom-and-the-creative-cloud.html "Q. Will there be a different version of Lightroom called Lightroom CC? A. No." So, let's at least clear that...

No, I'm correct. The raw file is monochromatic, and it's Bayer masked.  It needs to be demosaiced.  Once that's done, you have to apply a calibration to deal with the fact that the Bayer dyes are...

Theoretically, yes. You don't throw it away, you scale it all to the JPEG. The scene and raw data are linear.  Once you scale that with gamma (or another tone curve) and get it about scaled to the...
