CF7 is, in our opinion, too new to run on production. We're just now moving to 6.11 on these servers (from 5.x), after having run 6.x for a few years on our backend.
I still find myself fighting, in the last 60 days, fatal errors on my 6.11 servers that that would have been disasterous if we had encountered them on our public WWW servers (see: client variables looping and crashing IIS every 7 days, http://www.macromedia.com/cfusion/knowledgebase/index.cfm?id=tn_19590) So, flat out, I don't trust 7 yet for our public site, and my Bossman(tm) trusts it even less. I'm even a bit worried about putting 6.11 on these machines for the same reason, but to a much lesser extent. The licensing issue turned out to be moot, b/c my cooworker found his old CF5 - MX upgrade licenses that he thought he had lost. But what we would have done, we had decided, is buy MX7 licenses, put MX7 on our backend machines that were 'least necessary', then pushed those MX6 licenses to the pub servers. I'll begin playing with MX7 this summer though, as I'm really curious about some of the new functionality - namely CFDOCUMENT to pdf.
