No, I recommend it strongly with 2.6.8 for performance reasons.  Axiom
does not run afoul of any of the weaknesses, AFAICT.

I'm also eager if anyone has comparative performance reports on 2.6
and 2.7.  Bootstraping the latter takes longer, but (I hope) all other
metrics point the other way.

Take care,
