Hm. Haven't installed 7.x yet, but I can be sure I'll miss the Navigation pane – not for shorter documents, but for longer ones. It's a pretty obvious scenario: reviewer says "Hey, we need to update something in 2.6.5!" and by far the most efficient way to locate the topic in question is to check the Navigation pane. Unless, of course, I'm completely missing something …
