Hey Greg, Josh, and all,
I'm getting ready to deploy into production a new Drupal 7 site (will do so as soon as D7 goes beta) and I'd like to use it with Project Mercury for performance reasons. Will Project Mercury still work properly if Drupal 7 is substituted for Pressflow? How do you recommend I do this?
My current plans are to use the forthcoming Mercury 1.2 Amazon AMI (with configuration to support Amazon EBS).
Thanks,
Ben
P.S. By the way, any plans for including Drupal 7 directly in Project Mercury sometime soon?

re: Using Drupal 7 with Project Mercury?
Ben,
Supporting Drupal 7 in Pantheon will likely wait until Drupal 7 is released and the required modules are updated and tested. I think that Drupal 7 will not currently work as a drop-in replacement for Pressflow due to some path changes.

Does Project Mercury work with Drupal 7 yet?
I am really interested in this question. We've been waiting for a beta invite on Pantheon since it came out, so we can't test Mercury there.
We have a Drupal 7 site that we reeeeeally want to run on the benefits of Mercury. I see that Greg's answer above is from almost a year ago, and Drupal 7 is now primetime. Any chance it will run on Mercury now? I have searched all over and am surprised to find no mention of 7 in any references to Mercury virtually anywhere on the web.
We run a VPS on Linode, and one of its installer stacks installs what I think is a recent version of Mercury. One click and Drupal 6 Pressflow is up and running on Mercury. i would love to just drop Drupal 7 in place, or be able to do so with some minor modifications spelled out. (That said, if it won't work, the problems it causes might not reveal themselves until some disastrous time, so I don't want to just start diving into it without some authoritative opinion.)
