    Isn't it time this "featured" article was de-featured?

    And replaced by something re v2.7.2 with lots of useful links to the v2.7.2 and v7.7.2 materials.

    There won't be a v2.7 base for appliances.  But it has been suggested that there will be a v2.7.1 release for appliances (sometime later this year).  It has also been hinted that the v2.7.1 will be RHEL based, and no longer SuSE based.  Nothing is definite.  All could change.

    Hmmm...give us a few hours, maybe.  :)  I think there might be some sync issues getting the new TechNotes available.
