+Backports are for new versions, not bug fixes. In this case even as
+this is a new version, the use of an older version of the game client
+with a new game server version could bring issues to users, so that
+makes this release more of a "bug fix release", because we are trying
+to avoid any possible problem to our users, not because we want to
+have the latest version of the game. If we leave the current version
+and then a user reports a problem while playing the game, the 0.6 or
+0.7 or whatever version is available at the time would be pushed as an
+update, not as a backport.
