I think the important thing about 2.7.1 isn't really the release of it, 
it's the release of the memory-checked version.  I have the announcment 
here, if anyone else missed it, but I think things like that (and our 
version of lint, when it becomes real) are milestones, big ones.  Tools 
like that will go a long way towards better code.
