But still not too late to fix. I think Edmund has a very valid point. We
should be releasing v6.4.2 to eliminate any ambiguity in which version
people are running.

It is much easier to say: "If you are running v6.4.1, then kill it and
install v6.4.2."

This is important imho. Sorry I was out of town and not contributing to
