Arch 0.7... a few q's

Hey, I've been using arch since 0.5 and have loved every last minute of it.

At the moment it's not on my main desktop, but I'm thinking about it. That damn slackware has a hold on me for some odd reason, but then again Arch is calling my name out while I sleep... freaky....

I was just wondering what 0.7 has in store for us?

For instance will it be static dev instead of devfs? Or even udev? Not that it's all THAT important because there are tutorials to switch over to udev and the lot.

Any surprise features? I know, I know, it wouldn't be much of a surprise if I found out now... maybe a hint ?

Just curious (and bored sitting around playing with some python tutorials.)

Anyway, continue the good work, now I'm off to backup my Slackware 10 setup just incase I feel like switching over to Arch on my main system.

Oh one more thing... when do you think 0.7 will be out? I'm running current so i guess its pre-0.7.

Well, that just about answered it all . The funny thing is I read that same doc before but totally forgot about some of the points it made.

Thanks again for pointing it out.
