Hmm...maybe I dozed off but I don't seem to have received 6.5...
I looked in my collection here and I have 6.3 and 6.4 but no 6.5.
Could be the USPS I suppose. They're almost as competent as Canada
Post (scary, eh?)

From my perspective, I'd just as soon not get the 6.X as the 6.X.1 (or 2)
is usually a bit tighter.
