That's why I mentioned patches to the new features separately. I expect that the core 7 IS essentially an upgrade/fix of 6.1 and didn't worry about it. It's far from 'just an upgrade' as you said. (and don't worry, I don't take it personally). I'll be honest here. I was on CF 5 until a few months back. I knew I could move to MX, but I was very (very, very, very) paranoid about it as HoF is very important to me. If someone as paranoid as I am moved up to 7, it should say something. :) If 7 perfect? No. There will probably be minor issues found now that more people are using it publicly. Will there be a lot? No. Why? Because MM had people running it live for a while and any of the issues that came up were reported. There was a huge beta team this time around and that also led to issues being identified early on. That being said, I'd am willing to trust CF 7 for use on HoF. I'd be more than willing to suggest it to others. The question you have to ask yourself (or your boss) is, 'does it save us time doing something or does it have a feature we need'. If the answer to either of these is yes, then it's worth the upgrade. CF 6.1 is stable and works very well. If you don't upgrade now, you're not loosing anything. You're just not getting the new features which look fantastic to me. :)
