While that is a quality message, v6 has landed in 'next' and I've begun
working off of that version. As Taylor attempted to say [1], this topic
should be considered final and updates should be follow-ups on top.

Sounds sensible, modulo s/final/solid enough/ ;-)
I would imagine that the "quality message" has something of value to
keep to help future developers, and if that is the case, a follow-up
patch to add to the Documentation/technical/ would be appropriate.
Thanks all, for a quality series.
