I would expect TOS 6 to be backward compatible.
But for example: migration of storage pools is only available on pools created by TOS 5.1.67 or later. So will there be / what are the chances that additional features are only available on storage pools created by TOS 6 or higher. By creating a pool using TOS 5, will there be something unavailable to me at a later date that I would have had access to if I have initialised the pool using TOS 6.
(I had a similar limit years ago with Synology. Pools created with early versions DSM couldn't be expanded past 16TB. Pools created by latter DSM had no such issue)
