What does that mean to existing WordPress developers?
I never recommend rushing into a new version without a really good reason. Let the early adopters find the bugs and gliches and keep running your business on the stable version. As such, this is a really good time to upgrade to version 2.7 if you haven’t already. Version 2.7 is extremely stable and has been a great release. Get you site up to 2.7.1 today, and be ready for 2.8 in a few months after it’s proven.
