Well, since none of the developers who are busy actually hammering out
code responded, I'll give you my impression:

I'm using version 7 in my "production" setup and it's working well.  I
originally started running the trunk code since that was the only place
where the new flac "picture" metadata type was supported.  Since that
support has now been merged into the 6.5.x code, I really don't have a
credible reason to be running the trunk anymore.  It's just inertia on
my part, I guess.

There are still major holes in the current trunk code where planned
features are only sketched in at this point.  For instance, version 7
will have an all new plug-in system that is supposed to be something
like Firefox's extension manager.  Plug-ins written specifically for
version 7 work just fine, those written for 6.x don't work at all.  The
code that will manage downloading and installing plug-ins hasn't been
written yet, so any 3rd party plug-ins have to be added manually.

In general, expect to get your hands dirty working with version 7 at
this point.  So, with that, I guess most folks would say that the trunk
is still "alpha."
