A binary brown dwarf has been found only 6.3 LY from the solar system. It must be very annoying for everyone who still uses the T2300 jump maps!

Um... it's seven light years in Elite / Oolite, not sure about 2300 AD.

(checks Wikipedia)

OK, 7.7 LY, so yes, it's probably going to have some effect on routes.
