The December 12th MacWeek has an article about System 7.0, where it 
describes a talk by Chris Espinosa (identified as software marketing manager
for Apple USA). The last paragraph (p. 9) says:

"According to Espinosa, System 7.0 will be distributed in the same way as 
current system software upgrades, which are available through user groups, 
on-line services, of Apple dealers."

You have to factor in the believability of MacWeek, but if the quote is 
accurate, that seems to be a clear answer to the question.
