I am actually glad they got an exception to the freeze since cmake-2.6.x is
a vast improvement over cmake-2.4 for projects (like most of mine) that have
Fortran components.  There are probably other areas where 2.6 does much
better than 2.4, but Fortran was the key improvement from my perspective. I
have also seen no serious downsides to adopting 2.6 for all of my projects.
