Absolutely.  I can see how that could be misread.  Its 4.x where x >= 8
and then 5.3 or later.

Note that there is some guess work there.  It should have a big "I THINK"
label there somewhere as its only been tested on 4.11 and 6.1.  We know
that previous versions worked as early as 4.8 and 5.3 though, and there
shouldn't have been any changes to break that.

This is (probably) the last patchset on the 1.5.0 SCSL code.  Future
patchsets will likely be against 1.5.0_10 JRL and 1.6.0 JRL.
