None from me either.

If we are disciplined in terms of limiting any backports to the old 
stable line (i.e. 7.2) to pure bugfixing then +1.

I also think that we should officially stop the 7.0 line. I would favour 
a policy of oldoldstable (now 7.0) gets one last bugfix release when a 
new stable release comes out (7.4). Oldstable (7.2) gets bugfix releases 
until it becomes oldoldstable (i.e. when 7.6 or 8 is released).

Concerning the release news: if we have nothing to report in some 
subsections should we keep them, but empty (e.g. "Improvements in the 
Graphical User Interface" and "Scripting") or should we just delete 
these subsections ?
