Sorry, I should have been clearer here.

I was purely referring to the fact that none of the modules will be
available until they're rebuilt for 2.7: I've been testing by doing the
upgrade with "--nodeps", so all of the support modules e.g. "rpm" happen
to be missing.

I don't know of any specific 2.7 incompatibilities.
