I thought it would be prudent to test the plugins, mu-plugins and themes I run at ucalgaryblogs.ca on the latest prerelease snapshot of WordPress Multiuser 2.7, to check for any incompatibilities or strangenesses. I grabbed the .zip archive from the SVN repository, dropped it onto my desktop, and installed a new site. I then grabbed the contents of my mu-plugins and plugins directories, and a subset of the themes that are used. After farting around repairing some file permission errors (caused by FTPing the files from the server to my desktop under a different user than apache runs under...) it looks like everything Just Worksâ„¢.
It wasn't an exhaustive test - I didn't try upgrading the databases for the sites that are running on ucalgaryblogs.ca - all I really needed to know was if the plugins needed some love before thinking of upgrading to 2.7. The good news is that they appear to be fine. Woohoo.
To share with the rest of the class, the mu-plugins that I've just casually tested to work with the WPMU 2.7 snapshot as of today are (and by "working" I mean "didn't blow up this copy of WPMU" not "work perfectly"):

Finally, my modified versions of Cutline and Carrington-blog both appear to work just fine. Woohoo! If WPMU is released before Monday, I'll upgrade. Otherwise, I'll have to wait until the end of the semester because I don't want to push out such a radical redesign of the dashboard/admin interface in the middle of a semester...
