I disagree. If there are going to be features going into *any* post 2.7.0 version, there's no reason not to increment the revision number to 2.8, Since there's also a well-advertised decision that 2.7 will be the last 2.x, such a 2.8 isn't planned. But there's no reason to violate the no-features-in-bugfix-releases policy. We've seen violations cause trouble and confusion, but we've not seen it be successful. The policy wasn't arbitrary; let's stick to it. -Fred -- Fred L.
