The only message in this thread that you have NOT responded to was the one where I answered these questions for you (again) in simple terms. The people that do the work of supporting branches do not have the time to support 6.2. You're not going to get another answer because there isn't one. It's clear from you rhetorical style that you are uninterested in anything in the vicinity of a constructive conversation, so this is my last response to you.
