I do not believe p0sixninja will be the one or even part of the team who finish the next jailbreak.
I suggest that people tweet Joshual @posixninja and ask him kindly that if he has anything to further the development of the iOS6 jailbreak, to work out his differences with the Dev-Team.
If I remember, wasn't this is one of the things that annoyed Geohot? Just everyone questioning him on releasing JB's all the time
Hi, have been told to stay on 6.0, if JB applies to 6.0.1 is as simply as upgrade first, then JB. If on the other hand we upgrade to 6.0.1 and the JB 6.0 we will be screwed as you can easily go back, if possible at all!
If there is a jailbreak released, it will be for 6.1 or 6.1.x IMO
6.0.1 has been out for quite a while now, and the betas of 6.1 are wrapping up it seems. I think we'll see 6.1 drop before 2013, and given the jailbreak isn't near completion, it makes more sense just to wait at this point.
All speculation.
The hackers will make a decision which benefits the most members of the jailbreak community.
And again I say, despite how you perceive the situation and decide how you would handle it, it is speculation.
Most of us learned a long time ago that those with the solutions will determine how they feel it best be used.
Once they figure it out, get it working and tested, then they will share it with us at a time of their choosing.

I completely agree.
But they have never released a jailbreak for a firmware that was no longer being signed by Apple.
5.1 Beta 1 rolled out on 11/28/11, 5.1 Beta 2 rolled out on 12/12/11, 5.1 Beta 3 rolled out on 1/9/12, with it seeing release on 3/7/12. Likely the 2 month gap was simply more to wait for the new iPad then anything else.
6.1 Beta 1 rolled out on 11/1/12, 6.1 Beta 2 rolled out on 11/12/12, and 6.1 Beta 3 is due out within two weeks at most, going by past trends.
This puts 6.1 on a month earlier cycle than 5.1 was, meaning we could see a release around Christmas. This is because a new iPad is widely not expected in the Spring, so we may be seeing 6.1 sooner than 2013, as there is no reason to withhold it otherwise.
That said, last year we saw a jailbreak for the flagship iPhone over 3 months after it's release date. That would mean we likely won't see a jailbreak before December this year, which ironically coincides with the predicted 6.1 release date.
As long as the exploits aren't burned before 6.1 drops, then the devs can allocate them to whichever firmware they choose, but I'd certainly place my bets on 6.1 as a strong educated guess.
