+1 for roll out 2.7.0 soon and continuing stabilization in 2.7.1. Agree with Karthik, it's better to exclude all improvements unless it turns out to blocking something.
In terms of jdiff, we have done the compatibility check for quite a while in branch-2. Do we want to back port it to (some of) early releases?
