Since ArrayInterfaceCore only supports Julia >= 1.6, support for older Julia versions is removed. To be able to backport fixes and to follow the Julia Registry docs, hence a breaking new release is required. Since the package has been quite stable for some time, I guess it could be a good opportunity to release 1.0.0. In most cases it shouldn't make a difference whether we release 0.6 or 1 but with 1.0.0 we will be able to distinguish between feature and bugfix releases and can remove support for older Julia versions in a new (non-breaking) minor release instead.
