We can revisit the question on 1 July or so, see where things are at. I don't think we want to go later than September in any case, that makes 1.5 years since 6.8, which still seems reasonable albeit longish for a major release number. Although we're volunteers, we also have employers we can push back on - "if 7.0 doesn't happen by September, it will be the end of the world and everybody will switch to, uh, Visual Studio". :-) Stan
