Nope. realurl with a (ugly) compat layer for 7.1 was just released last 
week: More than 3 month after 7.0 release. During this time the 
(perfectly maintained including active support from core team members) 
official introduction distribution package failed to install. It threw 
an exception that realurl dependency could not be resolved.
So no CMS 7 with a working frontend out of the box. And with current 
compatibility settings in realurl it will fail with 7.2 again. I demand 
having a *working* routing in master all the time. Now. It is an 
absolute no-go to rely on a 3rd party package for an official 
installation process to run successfully.

I guess people will love us if we later maybe find better routing *and* 
provide some layer to migrate old configuration out of the box. Also, 
this enables us to shift slowly towards this solution in small steps. We 
learned the hard way already that big steps don't work.
