Ok. Two options. I'd opt for 1.7. Should we start a poll?
I would suggest: go for 1.7, and keep a legacy standalone with ECW support for
the
desperate addicts to that format.
How does it sound?
All the best.

It's not a question of who's lucky and who is desperate. Every
time the ECW /MrSid/GDAL licensing problems come up, there's a
flurry of posts on the list asking "Program X has ECW support,
why not QGIS?". Many users don't have a choice. We all
realize that both compression formats are in wide-spread use
by govt offices, aerial photo companies, etc. I consider
support for ECW part of the core functionality of any GIS
system today.
If it's too complicated to maintain parallel installations of
GDAL 1.6 and 1.7, then I'd prefer keeping 1.6 until ERDAS
clarifies or loosens their licensing policy.
