Saying 6 is preferable in every way is a sweeping statement, their are
numerous reasons why people may not want to jump to 6.0 just yet, I for
instance have found some issues in 6.0 which stop it working so well with m=
y
hardware possibly due to the i386 code removal I dont know but that is what
might be it, and I use some software which isnt yet to be compatible with
6.x.  Hopefully all my problems will be resolved when 6.1 is released.
