This is not a reasonable response, especially to someone who is
volunteering their time to develop features for a project. If it
misses 6.0, it sucks.

My concern though is that major version bumps are supposed to be
ABI/API breaks, if this patchset doesn't land in 6.0, does that mean
it'd have to be pushed off to 7.0 if it makes public API changes? If
that's the case, I'd rather request 6.0 to be delayed to get this to land.
