Travis Plunk (@TravisEz13) : Shouldn't the branch be called 6.0.1 then? Can you please give details about why the patch is needed or is this due to the versioning problem with the package managers?

~~There will be no code changes other than the version. So, we are using the existing branch.~~ Yes, we are doing this release to address the issue with the package managers.

~~Well, no product code changes. One test had to be updated.~~

We are considering taking PR #5903 as well.

Linux repos are being a bit slow. Docker files are waiting for the Linux repos to have the package available.
