I'm not clear on how this helps. We don't know if there will be a
need to produce a 6.5 release, so there's no way to judge whether 6.4
should be designated "final" or not. The only logical answer is to do
so, which leaves a substantial chance that there will end up being
more than one "final" release on the 6.x line. That's not a
particularly desirable situation.
In fact, it's worse, because if 6.5 happens, it will probably be
because there were problems with 6.4 serious enough that we'd rather
people move to 6.5 anyway (at least for critical systems).
Be well.
