(Get the code!)
We haven't committed to anything yet. The schedule is tight. Whatever we ship we will need to support for 5 years, so it cannot be half done.
We are pretty certain that we don't want to ship both 5.6 and 7.0, so we expect to remove one or the other before release. Based on my current understanding I would like us to ship 7.0 in 16.04, but the transition needs to be completed first. For 7.0 to make 16.04 it needs to have replaced all the functions that 5.6 currently performs for us (reverse dependencies etc) and replace 5.6 in main. If this doesn't happen by feature freeze (18 Feb), we expect to remove 7.0 from universe, and 16.04 will ship with 5.6 only.
We can continue to use this bug to keep everyone updated. If there are any blocking issues then we'll mention them here. I will try to make sure that anyone interested in making this happen has the opportunity to volunteer to fix any blocking issues in time.
