I'd rather avoid if not absolutely required. What we've seen in the past is that people pick configs found on blogs and try to use them with their distros then don't understand why some directives are not supported, just because the distro runs on a specific version and backports fixes only. That's in part why we stopped backporting features to stable versions with 1.5. The other reason is that we broke 1.4 multiple times by backporting small things that we couldn't revert later because of users using them, and had great difficulties fixing (eg: send-name-header). Do you *really* need it in 1.6 now or can this wait for 1.7 in 7-8 months ? Note I'm not strongly opposed, I'm just being very careful to avoid later regrets as I've been used to this a lot over the years. Just let me know (and others as well, it's possible that some people are definitely opposed to a backport and I'll respect that since it's the default policy, just like some other people might want it). I recommend, users decide and I obey, you see. Willy
