I thought Marc decided[1] last year to drop the minor.minor version
numbers. IOW, there would be no 6.6.1, 6.6.2, etc. Make the upcoming
release 7.0 and take care of any minor glitches in it as 7.1, 7.2 and
when WAL and the other stuff is ready - or as it's ready - release 8.0
and fix any glitches as 8.1, etc. Currently every minor release is really
a major one, so why not just mark it as such and not worry about it?

Vince.

[1] Or did you do that on inn-workers and not here? It was about the same
time FreeBSD dropped the major.minor.minor for the major.minor numbering.
