RE: OmniORB 2.7.0 *MUST* be moved into stable



Given the choice, I would prefer to see 2.7.1 go into any slink update, as
that is the version in use by most of the outside world.  The symlink issue
is fixed, as well as some other, less visible issues (plus the bug fixes for
2.7.1 over 2.5.0).

Unfortunately, it may be a moot point because omniorb will need to be moved
to either non-free or a combination of non-free/contrib due to licensing foo
with Sun.  The IDL compiler includes some Sun sourcecode, that has a
relatively free license except for the provision that downstream users are
not permitted to *remove* functionality (i.e., not implement the CORBA
specification).  This violates the DFSG.

Thanks,

-Brent
