We've been making pretty steady progress over the last few releases.
I'd suggest that a bump to 7.0 should happen when we've accumulated
most of the fixes/improvements from the "hot list". We've worked
through most of those; here are the ones I'd like to see at or before
a 7.0 release:

o implement outer joins
o merge date/time types and deprecate the old 4-byte ones
