E-mail CWS himself and tell him your plans, ideas, etc. It's not a final, just a beta! He welcomes testers and comments.

r6 had preliminary 4 MB pages but was buggy. Yes, indeed this one was also known as r6 until very very last minute, and he decided to just rename it (probably to prevent confusion). BTW, old public r6 (2003?) erroneously reported "5.00" to int 31h, 401h "get DPMI capabilities".
