This I don't know about. I thought I had added an entry to
UPDATING, I have not looked to see what (if anything) happened
to it.

I first wanted to make sure all the bugs were ironed out of the
version in 6.x. I have a few minor bug fixes yet to commit to
the 6.x version, for instance. (I'll probably commit them to
7.x today, now that the code freeze has lifted for that).
Other than that, it's mainly just the bother of writing up a
different man page. Since the parsing done by the kernel is
different in 5.x/4.x (and that parsing is not going to change),
I suspect that the man page needs a different description for 5.x.
I also need to do some testing to make sure I stick to examples
which work the same for both kinds of argument-handling as done
by the kernel.
