Just because you could not install 7.0 does not mean 7.0
is flawed.

You make the false assumption that latest and greatest somehow
implies clutter.  You needn't install what you do not use.
This is true for 7.0 as much as it was for 6.3 and prior releases.

I am not questioning your preference for 6.3, but please do not 
discourage others from upgrading based on an idiosyncratic problem
you had with the 7.0 installation.
