In a perfect world, I'd prefer for someone to fix the newer port on 6. However, it's fair to note that 6 is only a year away from secteam EOL (6.3 in January, 6.4 in November) and not much development is going on there. So, I think it's fair to ask maintainers to keep things working on 7 and 8, and 6 only if they have time. (Ports on -HEAD currently need a lot of work, too.) mcl
