I definitely prefer the old text to this new text. The fact that this 
new text was introduced here also seems to confirm that the 
interpretation of the old text is that the maximum delay is 6 months.

As I said in another mail, the main purpose of commenting on this was to 
make sure that even people not involved in the original discussions were 
aware of this issue.
