So 2.6 clients should be able to talk with 2.7.x masters. The later
2.7.x stuff is even better with more helpful warnings and deprecation
notices.

The main things are:
Service resource types by default have has_status => true in 2.7.x
(which was mostly of the time manually set in 2.6.x by people
authoring code anyway).
Yeah, this shouldn't really cause issues. Most people already used it to get status
regardless.
I think there was one other item, but I can't for the life of me
remember it right now. There also is some ill-defined behavior in
2.7.x on using Class/Variable names with a hyphen in them. I'd advice
against it.
This was in a lead-up to 3.x where you can't use hyphens in class names. I believe
it's just a deprecation warning, though, so that shouldn't directly affect
migration path.

Sam, any idea where this is at?
I'm ready to flip the switch. I haven't heard any strong opposition so I'll
start the update process.
Yell if you're in opposition or forever hold your peace.
