As a counterpoint, I'm sticking with a (patched) 1.5.2 in production right
now because it's working properly and the 1.6 Git snapshots in Debian are
making me nervous.  Given that 1.6.0 isn't out yet, I'm not sure that I'd
recommend running 1.6, since that's basically telling people to run
pre-releases in production, which is usually a bad idea.  I'm waiting for
the 1.6 branch to mature a bit more.
