I'll do a beta7 release as soon as I'm back from JavaOne.  I was going
to do it before J1 but Jools is so close to being done with FilterList
that I decided to wait a little bit.  I believe FilterList is going to
help list read performance significantly because there won't be all the
object copying.  And it'll avoid us getting any more bug reports about
PartialList.

It wouldn't hurt if you ran a non-published test now to tell us if the
list change had a significant impact.
