I didn't suggest that I wanted to use 7-CURRENT for production releases.
That's entirely based on the devs responses.
I'll give the 4.11 release a shot, but I don't like using 4.x because
the SMP quality and 64-bit capability is lower than of 5.x and 6.x, and
the majority of these tests need to be done with 64-bit capability since
all of the machines will be Core2Duo+ capable (and thinking ahead), Quad
core+ enabled.
