Don't you want to add a list of classic external widgets that do work (work not) in both classical and Lab mode ? (so that enthousiast users do know in advance if they are going to blow up (or not) their environnement by upgrading)

currently there is a know regression on ipyleaflet at least.

@stonebig there is really a lot of those downstream projects. It is not very surprising that some will need some time to upgrade when 7.0 is out. I don't think that it is really manageable to track all downstream projects from ipywidgets and check that they already work with the beta.

At this point, @maartenbreddels, @vidartf, @SylvainCorlay, @mwcraig, @pbugnion - does anyone have any objection to releasing an RC?
