Just to make sure: Are you saying that that particular bug in the bge driver is fixed in RELENG_4_7? That would be very odd, because I expect such bug fixes to go into -stable, and only critical security fixes into RELENG_4_7. (BTW, searching the archive on the web didn't turn up anything. Maybe I used the wrong keywords, or maybe the search function fooled me; it doesn't seem very reliable.)
