There are some special cases that are not addressed:

1. 5.x modules that have moved into D6 core. (Example: Quick Admin Menus)

2. 5.x modules that have a different name in D6 (Example: JQuery UI Backport)

3. Deprecated modules (example: TinyMCE)

The above examples list as "not ported", but I don't expect them ever to be ported.

Project: Update Status » Upgrade Status
Version: 5.x-2.3 » 5.x-1.x-dev
Status: Active » Closed (works as designed)

I assume you're talking about upGRADE status, not upDATE status. Update status doesn't ever look at the next version of core for anything. And, AFAIK, upgrade status already has these kinds of special cases, but feel free to reopen if you researched it and discover otherwise.
