this is correct...

We are going to be rolling a v6.5.2, and .3, and .4 ... basically, until
v6.6 is released, v6.5.x is our stable release, and, from a commercial
perspective, has to be maintained.
I don't expect anyone working on -current to maintain it, I'm going to
work on it, but I do hope that if someone fixes a bug in -current that
exists in -stable, and that can be *easily* fixed, that we get the fix in
there also...
