Given the fact that we have been living in 0.4 for the last
three years or something, 0.6 seems a bit optimistic. And
I also fear there would only be the 0.5.0 release in the whole
0.5 series(there has been 0.5 years release cycles lately).
The idea is that 0.5 should introduce new functionality
and experimental features and move away for the OLSR RFC
while the 0.4 branch is be the "stable" RFC compatible branch.

But on the other hand these are just numbers so if everybody
disagrees we'll skip this plan :-)
