[wp-hackers] Anyone running 2.7 on a public blog yet?

[DD32]

Yeah, The only time that trunk has broken for me these last few weeks was  
the initial admin redesign (there were a few bugs), The HTTP API had a bug  
in it on my server, I implemented threaded comments the night it went into  
trunk, and some parameters got changed around overnight so my comments  
broke.. But thats stable now..

I would say, Make a backup, and go for it, but be ready to switch to 2.6  
if you notice any major issues. If you've got SSH access to the server,  
using SVN and issueing a switch to 2.6 should only take a few minutes.
