Well, since "it's about time", I would be happy to upload now the base-files version saying "7.0". Then people who write scripts that assume the user is running a stable version may easily test how their scripts will behave when wheezy becomes stable.

But IMHO, this should not be an excuse to write scripts that *only* work on stable releases.

In fact, it would be much better if scripts that may do things in different ways according to the OS version do things in a way or in another way because of detected features, not because of a certain OS version, i.e. something like autoconf/configure.
