It's not really about wanting to tag it 6.x... It's something I got
used to very much and something that helps (me) manage which
branch(es) a given issue has been applied to. When 6.x tag is much
like "next release cut from 6.x". When doing a release 6.[next] I'd
grep for 6.x and bulk-add 6.[next] to all issues currently having 6.x,
then remove 6.x from them (so that they have a constant fix-for, no
branch included anymore).

This process isn't the only one possible and I've had some discussions
about alternative workflows. I didn't manage to convince my
conversation partners and they failed to convince me, so I think it's
a matter of personal preference.

The ultimate reference is the changes.txt file anyway (?).
