I think we did pretty well.

IMHO we do need to make a 6.5.1 release --- I know I have a couple of
stupid bugs in 6.5 :-(. But it is not urgent; we could wait another
couple of weeks and see if anything else pops up.

Probably the nearer decision is when to split the tree for 6.6.
Is anyone ready to start on new stuff for 6.6? The argument that
we wanted to avoid double-patching is looking less compelling with
so few patches, so I'm ready to see a tree split as soon as anyone
has anything to commit into 6.6 only...
