Hate to hop in on this one, 'cause it's a fairly useless thread...  
but Bryght is far from a fork... our 4.6 differs from "vanilla" in a  
handful of backports and things we either didn't get into 4.6 in time  
or wanted to offer to folks now (and same will hold true for 4.7).  
And, yes, as noted later - very much in concert with the community...
