Yes, you'd need to have uploaded a week ago in order to make 6.0.1; this
was announced in a number of places a couple of weeks or so ago.
Suggestions for other places to do so that don't involve spamming the

The anticipated schedule is for a point release every couple of months,
so we'd probably be looking at freezing 6.0.2 during the early part of
May.
