Currently all the mustang bundles has 1_6_0, we should have 6_0.

If I might be allowed to interpret Graham's email.

Everything that we haven't decided to keep as 1.6.0 should start to be switched over to 6.0. We did a "good enough" job of this in the Tiger release but for Mustang we should be thorough. I think this needs to include internal only stuff like our project web pages or directories where builds get posted on internal servers. As I've mentioned before, I think this is necessary in order to train our tongues to say "6.0". And that's necessary if we want this change to stick.

Of course, if this is not an accurate interpretation, Graham please correct me.

Brian.
