.7 took a bit longer than expected, due to some security bugs that
needed to be added to the queue, combined with the fact that both Chris
and I were busy with OLS stuff.  Normally we both aren't travelling at

quickly as it seems some people felt we should have.

Sorry about this, we'll try to do better next time.
