We all understand that bugs (or design mistakes) have to be fixed at some point. However, I'm not sure such fixes require yet again another fatal error addition, especially not between two bug fixes only releases. I may live (hardly) with a fatal error between 5.x and 5.x+1, on a case by case basis. And it is perfectly fine to do it in 6.x. I know we have been said that for months now but to explain our position once again can't hurt.
