[WG: Sakai QA] [Building Sakai] QA 2.7.0 Compatability list.

I note that subsequent comments are leading to minor amendments, which I see as healthy but not changing the general thrust of the proposal.

Thanks Alan
John

Unless there is a reasoned opinion against these recommendations, for operational timing reasons we will test Sakai 2.7 as follows:

We recommend that these issues be addressed in 2.7.0 so that deployers will not be required to modify their JVM settings with -Dorg.apache.jasper.compiler.Parser.STRICT_QUOTE_ESCAPING=false.
