One of the disadvantages of being an earlier adopter and not waiting for the 
tribe to cross the canyon!!

MySQL-6 was a development version which was not ready for production servers. 
Given the development issues I am not surprised it has been dropped for the 
time being.
I think you may need to adapt any code that does not work on 5.5 to meet your 
needs.
