I still haven't achieved a proper understanding of what 5.7 would
actually include (so far the only real BC thing mentioned that it can
warn about is the switch thing, and IMHO making the new minor just
because of that makes little sense, of course I'm not counting
non-accepted RFCs since otherwise there's like 40 of them), so I intend
to vote no, but if somebody really sees something substantial that I
missed, please point me out, as I am not opposed to the idea of 5.7 just
don't see any practical content for it for now.
