Arrg... Guess that means me? :) I will try and find the time to
download the 7.0 beta tarball and give it a spin on my Alpha by the end of
the week.
I have no clue on what patches are going to be needed, given that
I have yet to even see what parts of the system they touched, let alone
how much those parts have changed since 6.5.x. This will probably prove
interesting. I will let you (and the list know) as soon as I have some
results. TTYL.
