I think the answer would be "No, the driver would not be pushed back into RELENG_6_2" because a new release is under way and it is not (IMO, correct me if I'm incorrect) a bug affects most if not all twa(4) owners which will call for a driver upgrade, but that's only my $0.02, as I'm not one of the release engineers nor I am the security officer, who has the authority to maintain the errata branch. Could you please download a RELENG_6 snapshot and try if it worked with your binary drivers? Once a '.0 release' is published, the RELENG_* branches would enter a KBI/ABI compatibility freeze so you can expect that your driver, even you don't have source code, should be able to run on the same latest RELENG_* code. That's said, your RELENG_6_2 binary driver *should* work just fine on RELENG_6. BTW. Could you tell us what your hardware is?
