It's way past time to forget 6.* ;-). Based on what we see in the
mailing lists, hardly anyone is on 7.0.* either, and the people on
7.1.* all know they need to upgrade.
For a newly coded DBD driver, I think you could get away with setting a
baseline requirement of a 7.2 server. Maybe even 7.3, if you wanted to
be a hard case (and you aren't planning to release for a few months).
