We're coming up on 6.0.0; in fact, it might be the next release. I plan
to give this one a good while in testing, however.
The one serious design issue still on the table is what to do about
duplicate-killing in multidrop mode. I'm beginning to suspect there
really is no way to do this right, and may yank that feature.
By popular demand, diffs from the previous release have been omitted.
