Due to overwhelming agreement, it is 6.6.  I personally vote for 7.0,
and so do you, but we are outnumbered.  We can revisit this as the
release gets closer, but to change it then, I am going to have to change
PG_VERSION, and that will require initdb for everyone.  Perhaps just
before we enter beta, we can discuss it, knowing then what our features
will be.
