0.6.x development is effectively dead.  Given that we have now released
0.8, I don't have particular interest in supporting anything older than
0.7.  Ubuntu 8.04 is two years old at this point.

RHEL4 has NetworkManager 0.4 and I hope nobody is using it.

RHEL5 has NM 0.7 (we rebased from 0.6 to 0.7 in the RHEL5.2 cycle).

Yeah, probably.
