Makes a lot of sense I suppose. And it is possible to add new features
from 6.x to a 5.x kernel too. Strictly speaking the 5.x kernel has been
around for a long time; and the 4.x kernel has not that much difference it
would seem, other than lots of new features.

AFAIK 6.x has a MAJOR difference in structure.
Swapping target before even arriving at our original destination
sounds like an invitation to a mess beyond description to me.
IMHO we may consider moving on to 6.x, *after* arriving at a stable,
workable, and useful 5.x.
For ex, many of my old colleagues *refuse* to use anything newer than XP
SP2, because of all
the compatibility issues, and they do *not* want that headache in
addition
to dealing with their
own application code.
