Dear Pirate,

Thanks for doing the update!

Indeed, that is a good point.  It may be that it is worth keeping it
in testing for the time being but not letting it go into the upcoming
stable, at least unless all of the security bugs can be fixed (which
includes upgrading to 0.6.0.1).

Best wishes,

   Julian
