I've seen several such questions these days. And I fear, if
I'm not able to get at least the required catalog changes
into 7.0, I'd have to wait until after 7.0 freeze + CVS
branch before I can start at all. That'd cost us too much
time.

I know that I can deal with a bunch of deferred patches,
staying in sync with CURRENT and having new features only as
patches. But that worx only as long as I have most catalog
changes in CURRENT. One single concurrent catalog change can
cost me days of work in the worst case otherwise.
