As you are all aware, 1.6 will be released this week.
Edit: (From Notches Twitter) "1.6 is aimed at Wednesday. Which means we'll probably release it late Thursday.
"
However, due to a number of changes, we expect Bukkit to take some time to update. Therefore, I will creating a modified fork of the vanilla client, adding in necessary features, allowing us to keep game.minerealm.com up as is without a temporary map.
I expect it to take approximately 3 hours after Notch posts 1.6 live for myself to have an updated version of MineRealm ready. Please note, this will not have all the regular features of MineRealm.
Core features that will be included:
Please note that this is only temporary, until Bukkit updates. However, as Bukkit may take several days to update, MineRealm will be the first server updated to 1.6 to include advanced features such as /home and /spawn. Additionally, as we won't be using a temporary map, this will be an advantage to draw in new players.

- Advanced chat (admin tags, etc)
