We keep releasing versions until no show-stopper bugs exist.

6.4.* had one on COPY bug that Jan is fixing.  The others have
workarounds, and we are so quick at pointing people to these
work-arounds, I don't think they warrant a new release.

We get so many improvements with each release, it is tough to back-patch
those into the tree.  At some point, the 6.3.* tree would match the
6.4.* tree.
