Re going with 4.7.0 or .2 because we know it works extremely well, maybe Brad's suggestion of taking a more recent Gambit version could be a productive idea also.

At least that would serve to help pushing Gambit forward. (That is, we would find and resolve any bugs in the more recent version.)

Perhaps doing two LTE:s, one for 4.7.0 and one for the current repo head, would make the most sense. We would know 4.7.0 works best currently that's all.

Whether any of this happens depends entirely on Marc.

I might suggest, though, that a specific, relatively recent version of
Gambit be nominated for "long term support" and that problems from all
platforms be reported against that *one* version.

If I understand correctly, you're currently using different versions on
different platforms because of bugs and workarounds on those different
platforms for different versions of Gambit. (That may not be so clear,
but I think you know what I mean.) Fixing bugs on several Gambit
versions at once might seem too broad a support surface.
