You are kidding right, mikrotik barely has time and resources to work on v7, from september till now it's 7beta5. This way it will take another 1-2years to have a fully v7 release. Not to say that this v7 it's the only one with a more current kernel release(4), all other versions are based on kernel 2.6.. 10years old kernel. This is the main reason why in production i stopped using mikrotik devices other than switches.
Although in mikrotik eyes i'm a 'noone', my opinion is that mikrotik should change his current strategies to target low cost equipments, they should increase price for hardware and licenses, and make more major investments in development and features, in order to bring mikrotik devices as close to all other enterprise solutions. There is no 'good and cheap' solution
