Thank you George for the clarification. Since English is not my native language maybe I misunderstood the question.
It is great way to gives a heads up to those who are planning to appear in PMP or ACP exam after 26th March to be aware of which version of PMBOK they are following as it can be demoralizing and will require great amount of effort to replace old terms and concepts with new ones. Saving Changes...
I work for a REP and spent a fair bit of time updating our course materials to be "aligned with the Sixth Edition". That meant:
1. Eliminating obsolete references and removing figures we were using from the Fifth Edition which are no longer used
2. Adding nomenclature & practices from the Sixth Edition into our materials
3. Ensuring that we reference PMI's trademarks in the appropriate fashion

I do not know the driver behind this question but we need to think on two fronts.
The first, is the general question that many are asking now - is it per the 5th or 6th edition of the PMBOK Guide and about the PMP. This is easy and I think all know how to answer this question now
The second front, some might not know, is specific to R.E.P.
When an R.E.P. wants to add a course on the PMI REP Site, they need to have a PMP review the course and the reviewer has to do his/her work but also indicate one of the following:
1. Does the course complies with the PMBOK Guide (or maybe other standards)
2. It partially complies
3. It does not comply or not related
I cannot remember the exact wording since it has been a few years since we have done this (we dropped our REP a few years back)
"Far out in the uncharted backwaters of the unfashionable end of the Western Spiral arm of the galaxy lies a small unregarded yellow sun. Orbiting this at a distance of roughly 98 million miles is an utterly insignificant little blue-green planet whose ape-descended life forms are so amazingly primitive that they still think digital watches are a pretty neat idea..."
