pfSense CE 2.7.0

pfSense CE 2.7.0 has finally been released, which I think for those of us using CE, is probably good news.

Looking at the changelog, it seems they have upgraded both PHP and the core OS. https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/releases/2-7-0.html This makes me a bit nervous. They recommend removing any installed packages prior to upgrading, which seems like a way of saying "This update will likely break things."

How has everyone's luck been with the upgrade? Any issues so far.

EDIT: I have my pfSense instance on a Proxmox VM, so I figured I'd give it a try anyway. Worse case, I can always restore the VM from a backup. Only issue was a few errors loading pfBlockerNG rules after restart, but the errors haven't returned after clearing them and refreshing the blocklists. I'm keeping my pre-upgrade backup for a while, but so far everything seems to be working.
