You meant 7.0.1, no? 7.1 will be a new major release with its own bugs...
Seriously, despite the amount of traffic about 7.0 issues, I believe
that 7.0 beta is already considerably more reliable than any prior
release ever was; and I believe the other developers share that opinion.
If you think 6.5.* is bug-free then you haven't been paying attention ;-).
We've fixed a huge number of problems since 6.5. Furthermore, how are
we going to flush out remaining issues if people don't try it? You're
not doing yourself or anyone else a service by staying away from 7.0.
regards, tom lane
