Colin,

We've been using 6.6.x with a 6.7.x startd for over a year without any
problems.  This is on several pools each with 500+ nodes and heavily
used.  Almost all the nodes are configured with STARTD_VM_EXPRS in the
spirit of the Bologna model.  We also use other handy features in 6.7.x
like MaxJobRetirementTime.
