Hi Zoltan, In theory, you are probably correct (at least for the most part...). But we cannot simply assume that because it works on 6.5, it also works on 6.0 and thus claim support.
Regarding version 5.2.x: we release interim fixes (formerly known as "patches" or "fixtests") as necessary to fix major problems, and we are planning a formal fix pack (formerly known as "PTF") for later this year.
