My understanding of releng policy is that 6-0 and 6-1 get bugfixes but not features. So it does seem like these fixes should go to 6-0 and 6-1. > Now that 7.0 has been released, we should soon be moving netbsd-5 to > End- Of-Life status with no further updates.

It's easier to update along a stable branch than to jump branches. Of course, at some point it's too much work for no gain to keep the old branch alive.
