Apparently, a lot of people are using NUT via packages, so:

 * users might not want to build from source if things are working

 * the packagers might not pick up a 2.7.x dev version, or it might be a while 
before it gets much use

 * users can always fall back on apcsmart-old

Not much we can do about the first two points, but if you want, we can put a 
big warning in the apcsmart-old banner that it will eventually go away, and 
they should report any bugs encountered with the new apcsmart driver.

IMHO, we have to balance the hassle of users upgrading against the burden of 
maintenance for drivers with such wide arrays of supported hardware.
