Particular to *all* 6.x systems at the moment, possibly.

I can not speak for that, but my understanding is, no, it won't be
MFC'ed.  The performance enhancements on 7.x included a lot of factors,
ULE is one of them, and there are also some other enhancements in the
system, which could be not suitable for MFC due to ABI/KBI change.
