I'm not sure if i'm misunderstanding your question, but builds on
archive.michigan-terminal-system.org go up to D6.0A, dated 18 January
2012, including Hercules configuration.? D6.0A is a patched version
(mostly for Hercules compatibility) of D6.0 from 1988.
I have the available D6.0 releases. I was referring to the future release
based on the 1996 system. A little info from the FAQ:

Q7: Is D6.0 the latest or final version of MTS?

A7: No. D6.0 is the last formal distribution of MTS. It was sent out in 1988.
MTS continued to be developed and used at the University of Michigan (U-M)
until 1996 and at RPI until 1999. While there is no distribution for later
versions of MTS, work is being done now to create an IPLable version of MTS
based on the system that was running at U-M in 1996 shortly before MTS was
shutdown for the last time. While we don't know exactly when that version of
MTS will be available, there is hope that it will be sometime in the first half
of 2012.
