None at all.  It should work great with 1.6.

The answer is no; if you drop a new VelocityEngine into the
VelocityView, then all configuration done on the previous engine is
for naught.  This is why i recommend having your own VelocityView
subclass.    However, if you really prefer to just have the
VelocityViewServlet subclass, it's not terribly complicated to
duplicate that effort yourself.  You can copy the code that does it
out of the VelocityView class.  This is open source, after all. :)
