When I saw Nick's email about branch_6x being feature frozen, my first
thought was that we don't (and really can't) feature freeze the stable
branch -- isn't new feature development (for the next minor release in
the current major version) the entire purpose of branch_Nx?

A feature freeze on a specific minor version does make sense.  I've seen
a couple of people say that we have, but there are also a few messages
from people saying that they want to include new functionality in 6.0. 
I expect that backporting almost anything from branch_6x to branch_6_0
will be relatively easy, so it may be a good idea to just create the new
branch.

Thanks,
Shawn
