A lot of features from both products where dropped due to time constraints (as groupee didn't want to force their very peeved users to wait any longer than they had to); as UBB7 was a complete recode from the ground up it was a lot of work for our little old ricky to do solo...
I'm sure that all old features that got dropped will someday make it back into the base code eventually, and Rick has done a good job of adding several features for the couple of releases he's got planned (7.1 being the first major revision to the basecode).
The ci's have been requested to be update by several people, including myself; and I'm sure that when Rick can he'll get to it... I'm fairly certain that he's already gotten the features in stone for 7.2; not quite sure about anything after that though.
