That settles it. Let's make a plan to transition. 1. Identify/edit documents that need updating 2. Make sure there's a 7.10 Vagrant option for people stuck on a system-wide 7.8 3. Revert pharpend's 7.10 branch to an earlier, cleaner state (before I made him try to support both 7.8 *and* 7.10... sorry about that) 4. Test 5. Merge 6. Test
