As we've discussed earlier, some of what are currently listed as
regressions since 6.0 should be edited to be more clear.
That aside, I don't like the current design. The earlier design had a
list of (sometimes fairly trivial) regressions since 6.0, coupled with
a much more serious outstanding problem; these two shouldn't be mixed.
If we decide that we don't want regressions since 6.0 to be in a
separate section, then we should apply the same criteria to everything
listed under the header "C++ support" (or whatever), and decide to
either only list serious bugs or else list every problem that we know
about.
Personally, the old division makes more sense to me: a list of all
regressions, plus some more serious outstanding issues. Obviously the
header "Regressions since 5.3" should be changed, however.
