Rendered-page summary, not a byte-perfect copy. Cited in design/research/outside-perspective.md to confirm
this project (on config_version 6) is on the current format, not a stale one.
Config version 6 updates MPF to remove accumulated implementation workarounds ("hacks") from

configuration files need updating to align with v6.
Removes temporary workarounds that had accumulated in prior config versions, simplifying MPF's
underlying systems and clearing the way for future enhancements.
