Yes, please whatever happens, do not start any sog refactoring in Master until 
presence-refactor has been merged and we've started a branch for 0.7.

In fact, when presence-refactor is merged with Master I think that we should 
wait at least 2 weeks before branching for 0.7 in order for all active 
developers to iron out any significant bugs associated with the merge.

At a minimum, the 0.7 branch itself would be subject to the same release 
candidate and bug triage procedure as was 0.6.8.  Only after this would 0.7 be 
tagged.  I think that this is the very minimum we need to do in order to be a 
credible project.

This would also give us an opportunity to get the documentation into a shape 
where at least super-intelligent pandimensional mice can understand it :)

At the same time as 0.7 is branched, I also think that it would be prudent to 
branch for a potential 0.7.0.1.  If all goes well with the sog refactor this 
will never see the light of day.  But I think we should give ourselves a means 
of working with the old sog code in case the refactor encounters trouble.  The 
sog refactor is far from trivial.

That sounds like a good idea.
