I'll reiterate that we've been saying this for over a year now.

Those who aren't able to migrate to 6.2 need to ping me with my bugmeister
hat on so I can try to prioritize any PRs about that.  I also intend to
get a task-force started going through the PR backlog for everything prior
to 5.5/6.1 and find out whether they still apply, and, if not, close them.
>From what I can tell, 6.2 has a very small number of bug reports against
it relative to prior releases, and many performance improvements are now
being testing in -CURRENT, so I'd like to see everyone who does not have
some kind of special need move towards 6.2.

It's long past time we moved forward.
