I can see that it's out of date, but I also honestly don't know if that
is a problem. As far as I can see it's still working in the installation
of my former employer. But I wasn't able to get anyone from that
organisation to take a look at this adoption bug so far.

The only specific WP6 compatibility issue I can find is

but it's not clear really what the impact of fix not being included is,
under what conditions.

It clearly needs attention by someone who has a vested interest,
but I don't know if it should be removed yet. Orphaning is clearly 
overdue on my part; this email should fix that.
