CFMenuCal Survey: New Features or ColdFusion MX7 compatability?

It's getting dusty around here. I'm keeping quite busy with my work, and when I do have free time that I spend on the computer, I'm trying to spend at least 50% working on CFMenuCal. So far I've been focusing my efforts on new features and the aforementioned surprises, but today it occurred to me that there are a few of you who have expressed interest in using this yourself -- and I know that means sooner rather than later.

When I originally wrote my proof of concept -- the alpha that's posted at RIAForge -- It served two purposes: the first being making something useful for my wife and myself, and the second being getting my hands dirty with ColdFusion 8. So it's got a lot of the new syntaxes woven in pretty tightly -- specifically rampant use of the new { } structure syntax and [ ] array syntax.

I guess I would estimate that it would take about a week, maybe two, for me to convert the alpha to use old syntaxes and make it usable on a ColdFusion 7 and I'm fairly certain even a ColdFusion 6 server.

I think I already have my answer, but I'd still like to hear what the user base has to say. Would you rather I work on converting back to ColdFusion 7 syntax, or continue working on new features (which in all honesty could take months)? On the other hand, if you all have ColdFusion 8 easily accessible to you, it may be a moot point.

In addition, I know that before I started using Subversion at work I couldn't be bothered to setup a client and check out something that I was interested in, so I can relate if you feel the same way. Would anyone prefer if I packaged up everything you would need to run it in a nice downloadable zip?
