Ok. Two options. I'd opt for 1.7. Should we start a poll?
I would suggest: go for 1.7, and keep a legacy standalone with ECW
support for the
desperate addicts to that format.
How does it sound?
All the best.

It's not a question of who's lucky and who is desperate. Every time the
ECW /MrSid/GDAL licensing problems come up, there's a flurry of posts on
the list asking "Program X has ECW support, why not QGIS?". Many users
don't have a choice. We all realize that both compression formats are in
wide-spread use by govt offices, aerial photo companies, etc. I consider
support for ECW part of the core functionality of any GIS system today.
If it's too complicated to maintain parallel installations of GDAL 1.6
and 1.7, then I'd prefer keeping 1.6 until ERDAS clarifies or loosens
their licensing policy.

So ERDAS is setting the pace for QGIS's evolution ? GDAL/OGR 1.7 brings
usefull fix/features and native support for formats like dxf which many
users would appreciate too.
I've converted all my dpt.'s ecw to tiff with fwtools and I am now
requesting all the new dataset to shipped in tiff, this may not be easy
for some but I prefer converting than limiting myself to gdal 1.6
