-0 for my previous reasons:

1. The new points feature should have been treated as experimental in 6.0.
2. The rest of Lucene should not have been switched over to this largely
unbaked, experimental points feature so soon.
3. The current 5.x numerics should not have been deprecated so soon, with
the points numerics so unbaked and so experimental.
4. The naming and terminology of the points feature is just plain bad -
confusing/conflating scalar numeric values and spatial data.
5. Given the degree to which Solr and Lucene are linked and the prominence
of Lucene switching from current numerics to points, it would be
appropriate for Solr to explicitly note that it still uses the
5.x-compatible numerics and will continue to do so until a reasonable
migration/upgrade story for existing numeric data is in place.

Adding this less-controversial point:

5. It should have been stated explicitly that Java 1.9 is not supported at
this time.

That said, I don't expect 6.0 to be held up for any of my personal
complaints. I simply wanted to avoid anyone having the impression that I
found the current status of handling of numerics and points to be
acceptable. I don't expect any change, but I cannot say anything positive
about this state of affairs.

None of this should reflect negatively on the RM or the artifacts or
logistical process of the release.
