Re: End of 6.1 and PTF stuff

[Roberto José Etcheverry Romero <yggdrasil.raiker@xxxxxxxxx>]

I haven't had to download PTFs in a few months but the last time they still
had PTFs for v4r4 avaiable on the fixcentral site, only for "quick order"
but avaiable. I imagine it might be the same for 6.1 being that its a tad
more recent than v4r4...
