It appears that 0.6 nodes are split off from 0.5 nodes right now. Is this still necessary? It's important to split the networks during development if current or upcoming changes in the development version must not be mixed with the stable version. It also isolates the stable network from unexpected bugs introduced in a new unstable build. Now that development on 0.6 has halted, there are no upcoming changes affecting compatibility with 0.5, and no bugs are being introduced. This leaves little reason to keep the two networks split. I am aware of no serious routing differences between current 0.5 and 0.6. I suggest we bridge the two networks by setting our nodes up to connect to both networks. This should help the network. Hopefully we can get the official stable and unstable builds updated to talk to both versions, but if not, we'll just run modded nodes.
