I wonder if this is also true for server-to-server communication because
that is the number one way to migrate from 5 to 6...for smaller
configurations anyway.
It's probably "just" a support issue and nothing technical, I suspect it
will work just fine...but still if this hold true for server-2-server
exports it's a pretty big pain.
