That's the issue. All the new stuff is going into 7. That's fine. But if you're running any legacy stuff, and you just need it to work, 6.7 is your best bet.

Life is too short to mess around with stuff that won't work on the new platform.

Im not a gifted linux guy, I have to rely on google for alot of what I need to do, installing things in particular to test. In the last couple months all the results are for 7, so it seems the trend is to move toward it. I can see the compatibility issues with some of the major changes. It appears existing software that is still maintained has migrated to 7 compatibility.

For now though, I stick with 6 because thats what everything i have is on
