rkb rather unsurprisingly danced with 5-2

I have posted this one to see if anyone wants to do anything other than the safe option...

Moving both checkers off the 6 is completely safe, and leaves a very good distribution with even number of checkers on the 4 and 5 points.

Moving both checkers off the 5 bears in a checker, but leaves us open to awkward rolls - almost anything with a 1 or a 3 leaves an awkward distribution.  It's not worth the risk to bear off a single checker. 

I'd say this is a next, or at least a very good candidate for expedited judgment.  I'd say move it  along once the vote gets to 5-0.

That is what I was thinking..if it gets there tonight, I will move it on - otherwise, it can wait until I get home from work tomorrow.
