Ok folks..... 4.7 is getting ready to come out and RC1 is going to have
a whole new class of folks adopting it who have been waiting.  Now it's
been a while and a lot has changed.  A lot more then any release I have
remembered and some of the changes are seriously impacting depending on
your perspective.  So what does this mean for us?  We need notes, one
liners, gotcha's and some history stuff on the why's so we can avoid the
'why didn't you tell me' scenerios or repeating the same answer over and
over and just provide a link.

Off the top of my head I've come up with a few areas we need stuff on.
Some there is existing starting points, others there are just knowledge
in passing.  We really really really need this.  Please add more area's
that I don't have here and if anyone wants to write up something feel
free.  It doesn't even have to be polished just a starting point..  The
issue chx raised about session ID's yesterday needs to be addressed too.
Without these write ups, there will be angry mobs with pitchforks and
torches coming to the castle.

Thanks fo ryour help.

base_url change is one that comes to mind. (morbus's write up should
serve as a base for that)
filter change to areas like the mission statement (need
docs/alternative/examples to html in mission)
blocks (tout improvements)
revisions (tout improvements)
free tagging (what and how it works)
user greeting messages (effect of upgrade on custom messages)
