For low-loaded machines, 7.0 is stable enough even with all the new
goodies like ZFS, tmpfs, ULE - I have such a machine with almost 30 days
uptime and have done 24h+ stress testing on another machine before
blessing it for production - but I still wouldn't trust it for mission
critical "heads will roll" type of servers.
If you can, try it on a spare or lightly loaded server, it's worth it.
