 > Eg: 7.0a1 will be ESR52 based, and likely result in everything breaking.
 Going from 6.5 release to 7.0 release would be fine because I would have
 the entire 7.0 alpha period to work out bugs.

 7.0a1 won't be based on ESR52 yet. I think the earliest alpha where we
 will be able to include ESR52 is the one due when ESR52 gets released
 (which is supposed to happen at the begin of March 2017). Even that would
 be a novum, though. (we were not that early in the past)
