I have been looking at the output from batch rating using SE.

6.6, 6.6999... and 6.7 all are based on different "Hardest technique" ratings.

Code: Select all: Hardest technique: Turbot Fish Difficulty: 6.6 Hardest technique: Forcing X-Chain Difficulty: 6.699999999999999 Hardest technique: Bidirectional Y-Cycle Difficulty: 6.7

As the puzzles are all distinct I would suggest that 6.6999... puzzles could be posted as a valid puzzle with a seperate rating from 6.6 and 6.7.
