Andreas: Why March? Why has this feature been given such a low priority. This will, and already has stopped quite a few upgraders.
I have 1 installation I want to move over to v7 for email encryption, however with over 100 PF rules I am having to wait...
The complete backend logic to store, validate and enforce configuration has been changed from version 6 to version 7. In addition, the amount of features and dependencies are enormous. And the worst case for us would be customers trying to upgrade ending in a broken, non-recoverable system state. Therefore we rather take our time to test this excessively and with utmost care.
