Ken, something Doug just said in another cdt-dev post made me curious about this statement of yours. It sounds to me that you're planning on disregarding restrictions that maintenance streams are supposed to adhere to. Perhaps I'm reading too much into the message. Are you planning on either adding new API or breaking existing API in EDC on the 7.0.x branch? I'm not stating an objection to that, nor am I acquiescing it. I'm just hoping that we air out what the message above entails.

I believe EFS API was added during the 6.0.x branch, and there were some rumblings on that recently.

John
