Jiras to be closed:

Below are all the Blocker and critical Qpid Jiras that are targeted for 0.6.

Most of these jira's look like they just need to be reviewed. I assume this means that really they just have to be closed at this stage.

Below are all other unresolved JIRAs tagged Fix for 0.6 which we should either close or move to 'Affects 0.6' and clear the fix for value.
