Perhaps the brown and red lines should be at the same horizontal level as
they are the same CVS HEAD. It could be called '6+' or '5.7+' or
something, just to emphasise that it is not going to be only 6.0.x releases
made from this branch. But it is kind of nice to include the 6 in the name
as a motivation and reminder that we are working towards version 6

I don't think it was close at all. That's why I chose to make major
improvements to the 5.0 CVS as I could see the merge would be a long time
coming. Although it is definitely closer now that it was then and I will
put future new functionality only into 5.7 as far as I can
