FWIW we've been running this nightly build of 1.6 in production
because of this reason for a month or so and it's been fine, glad to
hear a standard release is slated to come out soon with this fix.

One word of warning, the centos packages are built 'improperly' in
that they appear 'older' than the standard system level 1.6.0 - ie if
you update your packages it will wipe out the technically newer
nightly build with the older release.

I believe a bug was opened for this, it has to do with the package
name ordering. So just be wary when upgrading.
