As you probably know, 6.0.0.CR1 was tagged yesterday and the corresponding branch (6.0.x) was created last Tuesday.

   As a reminder, since the creation of the branch and until we release 6.0.0.Final:

(1) please cherry-pick all commits you make for master into the 6.0.x branch. Do not wait to cherry-pick, because this might end up creating conflicts if commits are cherry-picked out of order. Also don't forget to cherry-pick.

(2) if there is a BZ and/or JIRA for your work (there should be), add the BZ/JIRA numbers to your commit message

(3) add the link to your commit as a comment on the corresponding BZ

   Item (3) above is temporary until they fix the BZ/GitHub integration, but important.

   After we release 6.0.0.Final, you should only cherry-pick commits into 6.0.x branch if they have a corresponding BZ and the 3 acks set.

   Let us know if you have any questions.

   Thanks,

       Edson
