Is there a way for this to get back into 6.1 - so we can shoot for a stable 6.x version that will last us for a year while 7.x is under development?

I���m not familiar with how point release are handled in Pharo, and I get the impression that this is going to be a slightly rockier year as there have been some pretty revolutionary changes made to get us here.

As its a vm change does this mean we get 6.2 queued up somehow?
