but to be fairer to the sites you sold 5.6 to already, the change should
have happened with the move to 5.7, not mid 5.6 when customers are now stuck
with bugs and no easy fix in sight.  i don't recall the exact date when
5.6.0 originally came out (2005/2006), but i'd wager 2.3.x was current
at the time.
