Because getting it right the first time is overrated. If I get this one wrong again then I'll bless you with a 6.1.n 🥇

• Fixed some performance issues discovered with Import-Function 9d695c6. I don't know how @AdamNaj does it, but when there is a problem he brings out the big guns. See more details about the performance improvements experienced with testing SXA in issue #1189.
• Fixed issue with the packages containing a test patch and missing the ones that really matter. Clearly didn't check this because if I had then you would still be installing 6.1.
