Another choice to do for the spring support...

Since Spring 7 is out, having our new module named 
spring6-velocity-support is rather cumbersome ; it does work with Spring 
6 or 7, so there shouldn't be any "6" in the name.

My proposal:

- rename the *old* module from spring-velocity-support to 
spring5-velocity-support

- rename the *new* module from spring6-velocity-support to 
spring-velocity-support

Strictly speaking, that would imply a major version jump since the new 
"spring-velocity-support" is not backward compatible with the old 
"spring-velocity-support". But this module being a marginal support 
module, I think that this is acceptable if properly documented.

+1/-1 ?
