Now for a fairly naive question, but possibly not half as daft as it seems:
What is the point of the 6.7 series when the 7.0 series is
up-and-running smoothly?
Just my experience, but I find the 7.0 releases slow and buggy on linux.
The binaries are huge and by extension create huge standalone apps.
While it's nice to have 64-bit binaries because they run much faster
than their 32-bit equivalents, I just roll my own 64-bit versions of the
6.x builds and I'm happy.
Are there features in the 6.7 series that have not yet been incorporated
into the 7.0 series? (seems unlikely and slightly odd).
No, quite the opposite. I *am* annoyed that some of the additions I've
contributed to the engine have not made it into the 6.7 branch.
I have been recently extremely impressed in the way Unicode is handled
in the 7.0 series having been teaching children how to
build "typewriters" for no-Latin writing systems:

If you need the unicode enhancements, then there's no choice... 7.x is
the way to go.
