We should release an 8.0 version just because I/we said we would. The 
interface changes have long been stable and about the only things that 
were never done was tracking down the SELinux open pipe while reading 
file handles. I've dug at that a few times and basically the only 
solution is to not open the pipe to sendmail but instead stage an 
temporary output file that fills up as the log files get parsed and then 
at the very end either push that to sendmail or copy it to where it 
belongs. But I just haven't been able to spend enough time untangling 
this problem, given the amount of time that has passed and that it 
doesn't really bother me I doubt I will do this.

The only thing to note is the rollback of postfix/amavis filters and 
that fact that end users can update to "better" versions.

So I guess my point is Kirk if you want to roll an 8.0 RPM do it, CVS 
should be stable.
