That's fair. I feel like a release is coming up. Looking at the calendar,
it seems like it happens in the first two weeks of each quarter. There's a been
a lot of commits since 1.7.1! We're OK dropping in a 1.8.0-SNAPSHOT to this one
environment but we'd love to include 1.8.0 in our builds as soon as possible.
Do you have a feel for when 1.8.0 might be released?---
