The difference is that (b) allows you to choose which changes to
merge, i.e. include simple bug fixes but not more destabilising
changes.

In that case, my inclination would have been to simply move the 6.1
branch tag to the point where 6.2 would have been created. There
doesn't appear to be much point in having an isolated 6.1 release for
which any bugs will never be fixed.

For me, the main question is: what would be the reason for a user to
choose 6.1.0 over 6.2.0?
