Nothing to add but, YAY!

Go Rails!

I am hoping we are going to get a glimpse of 8.0 or 8.0 beta in September RailsWorld.

Also wondering about YJIT. It has been a relatively quiet year so far. Hopefully we have something exciting baking for 3.4

See edge guides (https://edgeguides.rubyonrails.org/7_2_release_notes.html) for some highlights.

I'm looking forward to using some of the developer experience stuff, such as default RuboCop or default GH actions for new apps. Not sure if it's everyone's cup of tea though.

You can already use YJIT in Rails.

Browser version guards[1] seem a bit scary: it just does basic user-agent parsing rather than actual feature detection, which is not exactly a great thing for the web as a whole.

The last part of the release announcement[1] says:

> What’s next?

> The team is already hard at work on Rails 8.0, that we plan to release later this year and we are looking forward to interact with the community and share presents at Rails World, in September this year.
