The thing with Bringing home the Bacon-
I think there was some miscommunication as to what a 6th age quest is, I even remember a mod saying (I think Osborne) a majority of the quest in game would be 6th age. I think by that he meant they could be either age- no specifically 5th or 6th, but could be done logically in either, as there were no references to the gods in them, or any requirements making it so they needed to be placed before TWW in chronology.
The thing is with TWW is that it itself requires most quests in the game
Considering now how often recent updates refer to 6th Age events, I think it's fair to say that everything that has been released since TWW is fully chronological. BHTB should have occurred a short while after the god emissaries appeared, which in my case is fair, since I am a member of the Godless, and Holstein is quite close to Eli's farm.
In other news, I've finally finished the timeline! Though I did do Birthright of the Dwarves last (pesky requirements that I didn't realise could be boosted
) I finally have the quest point cape!

Regarding BHTB, just because a NPC associated with the 6th Age is by the farm doesn't mean the Quest should be 6th Age, especially since Holstein isn't in the Quest at all.
BHTB can be done in either Age.

I've been thinking about it a bit. I'd like to think it was rather early in the 6th age - before the Emissaries came around but after the Gods returned. If that's possible. Like, I could see the reunion of the elves being the reason for the Seren Emissary coming east.
If it weren't for Lathas saying a 6th age line I'd say it'd be 5th age, but he does, so yeah.
Also I liked how Elena referenced it being years since they started the plague series events. That's the second time an NPC has directly referenced a quest we've done as being 'years' ago. The other time was Grayzag during The Void Stares Back.
However, the Fate of the Gods/World Gate position does make sense. You can only fully appreciate a story when you experience it through the eyes of one of its characters.

Funny fact I thought I would mention: I've just done While Guthix Sleeps and after the quest, in Idria's post quest dialogue there is a dialogue regarding second World Event: return of Armadyl and death of Bandos at his hands. Propably not many people here finished WGS after WE2, so I'll just leave it here. While I like the idea of revisiting dialogue to mention 6th Age, I fail to see any reason for this to happen to character that DIES in the 5th Age (haven't done RotM yet, but hard to not know such things after all this years). I mean, what's the point of putting in game dialogue that is 100% non-canon and contradicts the timeline in every way possible. It's one thing you can do some quest in obviously non-chronological order, but updating character that died before Gods' return with events that happened after that... Well, that's strange and may be confusing for people that aren't fully aware of chronology. And in a way it implies WGS happened AFTER WE2, which just hurts my eyes. I just hope that if someone does The World Wakes and lets Thaerisk die, then does While Guthix Slepps, he doesn't get dialogue like "hi Thaerisk, shame you died in the future"
