I see a lot of the "4.7 is a downgrade" sentiment. 4.7 does (mostly) what you ask it to do. 4.6 does what it thinks it should do. As someone with 20 years writing my own code I want the former, but the loud contingent online wants the latter.
When you're on a mature codebase with 500k+ lines of code, I haven't seen anything else be as effective as 4.7.
