If we do NT6, we may want to have latest NT6 instead of trying to stick to
an older one and having the same deprecation issue in a couple years?

Also, what about the "idea" of keeping the majority of the kernel and large
part of the usermode NT5, but having compatibility profiles that
implement/emulate NT6 API functions using the existing NT5 feature set? Is
that unrealistic?
