What if Update6 already installed?

I had installed Update6 from Hyperion's site a couple of hours ago, before Steven's announcement. Actually it installs AmiUpdate on System/ drawer and adds a menu item on Workbench's pull-down menu. The problem is, do I have to strictly downgrade to Update 5 again (by copying Update5 files over Update6 ones)?

If you're not having any problems with it then I don't see why you should need to. I installed it immediately too and I haven't experienced any problems yet at least.
I think it may be more about Steven being cautious and just wanting to do a little more testing still just be sure it doesn't contain any too serious bugs before releasing it for real (at least that is the impression I got).

I don't have any problems so far though. If a bug found, is it possible to install the new Update6 over the previously Update6 somehow?

Sorry about that.
If you already installed it and it works you'll be fine. No need to install it again or anything.
The last issue I was going to fix just affects X1000 users which have not applied all the patches. It is more of a contingency measure.

No need to apologise actually, nothing happened; actually it works without any problems.
I've downloaded again the new Update6 archive and checked every file with the old one. The only difference I found is the sb600ide.device.kmod file, correct me if I'm wrong, and something else is also changed.
