I've been wondering about that also. However, the release engineering process is fairly heavy-weight, and the last time we did a light-weight x.x.1 release, people leapt on that opportunity to over-load it with lots of minor fixes that ended up making it a fairly broken release (since inevitably they weren't minor, but we weren't willing to do a full heavy-weight release). Regardless, we'd want to wait to spin a .x.x.1 release until the new OpenSSH was merged back, I think, so it will be a bit yet before we can really make a decision on this. The best strategy would be to literally slap down another tag on RELENG_4_6 and call it RELENG_4_6_1 point-release.
