That was just to avoid having to release a 6.6.6, which Jan had clearly
been working towards. :-)
Seriously, major version jumps correspond to epoch-like changes, like
when the code moved out of Berkeley, or when we switched from bug
fixing to adding features. Maybe the next epoch would be after a
hostile takeover of firebird. But right now I see no epoch change,
just a potential for confusing users. Consistency and humbleness can
be a virtue.
