[support] Drupal 7 not ready yet

But compelling is a pretty subjective thing of course.  
 
IMHO:   I would generally not encourage new users to be beta users of
any product, so don't feel bad about adopting drupal 6 as a newbie right
now.

I'm wondering what the compelling improvement is for Drupal 7? I see
feature lists, but for me, a newbie, I can't find that list of why
Drupal 7 is so much better.

	I'd love to be working with D7.
