Probably, the only thing that may bother us is the new info pages layout,
I vote to return it back and postpone changes for 2-8-2dev.1
Except that stuff became better and seems to be stable (I know nothing
about configure and VMS stuff, though). Few minore bugs still
known as not fixed at the moment.

I think the main user-visible changes from 2.8:
partial display, verbose images and cookies (accept all/ persistent support?),
other changes mostly internal but include a number of minor bugfixes.
How about doc's/help for new features?
