patience ::)

the RE team has chosen to release 4.7 after the original date in
exchange for greater confidence in the stability of the release.
there will likely be another release candidate before 4.7 is official.

i imagine it would simplify things to provide at least some sort of
recognition on the webpage that 4.7 is indeed delayed. while a target
date easily may not be feasible, a notice of acknowledgement of the
delay and a note keeping users abreast of what is involved in the delay
and what is currently being tested would be a welcome addition.

for any RE or www team members who are reading this, i'd be happy to
provide maintainance for such information.
