First 1.7.0 prerelease: June 1

Fire up your testing environments: they're going to get some use over
the next couple of months.

In an effort to release early and often, I'd like to cut the first
1.7.0 pre-release on June 1. This will likely be a beta release,
since there are still blocking issues, but I hope to get this into the
hands of users (and third-party consumers) soon-ish.

From that point, we'll continue to release beta's until we branch,
which will be when the "1.7.0" issues are all closed. After the
branch, we'll start the release candidates and the soak period.

Thoughts?
