Most interesting and entertaining topic.
Think of the new version 6 as if you were
a school kid and your family has moved to
a different state. You left all of your old
friends behind and are meeting new ones.
Over time, your interaction with these new
kids will result in the development of new
friendships, sharing perhaps, some of the
same things, moments and feelings that you
had with your old friends.
Time is the key. As new friendships are made,
the old ones will fade into the background
until the new friendships are the real and
enjoyable ones in your life.
The old friends will always be there to
revisit and rekindle relationships but the
present ones are the ones you let into your
life to enjoy as well.

Spoken from experience...I went to 8 different
schools due to my father's business related
transfers to different states.
You and your new bot will become good friends
over time if you let it happen.
