So that's a point in favor of the 4.x downgrade approach. I don't love the idea of regressing the versions post-Beta, but it's starting to look like the least-risky approach. We really have no idea what is going to be broken by 6.0 and I don't want to stick some poor volunteer with maintaining backports of a dead upstream release.
