I haven't heard that.  In fact I'm running what I was told is System
7 final final.  I haven't experienced any crashes or big problems
with it that would lead me to believe that they'd hold up the release.
Of course, anything is possible...

This has got to be one of Apple's best tested programs in their history.
With as many developers pounding on it as they've had I don't expect
any big surprises.  Sure, there will be a few bugs people find - all
software has bugs and System 7 is fairly large, but considering the
number of changes and enhancements made to the system, I'm very impressed
with the job they've done.

The release is only a week off people.  Can't keep the rumor mongering
down to a low roar?  I guess not...
