My advice is stick to the latest release of 4.6 for the time being. 4.7
has a major flaw in that it has no daylight saving support (4.6 has a
patch that at least covers up the fundamental lack of it in the core
code). Many of the modules you get aren't that well written and can
interfere with each other... although there's a lot of documentation for
it so you should be able to find any incompatibilities eventually, you
won't necessarily know about them before you actually try to do it.
That's what happened to me, anyway.
