The best reason I can think of is that 0.7.0 is finally Panther native, which means it was built with GCC 3.3. That should mean more compatibility/stability. The main reason I upgraded is because visual-py23, a 3D physics package for Python has made it from unstable->stable. Which was the only reason I was sourcing the unstable tree. Now I can go completely stable.

Also it comes with Fink Commander, I'm not sure if it was with previous versions, but I just discovered it, and it's pretty nice.
 
I think it's a good thing to have something closer to a 1.0 version, in any case. The disparity in the Jaguar vs. Panther-compatible version numbers makes me wonder if there is some missing functionality in Jaguar that the latest sync. with FreeBSD has added to Panther.

Fink Commander has also been revised recently.
