Philip,

As one of the maintainers of the project, let me warn you that a certain 
amount of technical knowledge of OpenERP is probably essential for 
performing migrations with these tools. Also, no substantial work has 
been done for migrations from 6.1 to 7.0 although this will come in time.

To further answer your questions: new features will not be introduced in 
7.0 but only in later major releases as per OpenERP SA release policy. 
If I were you, I would conjure up a module that makes these changes wrt. 
check writing available for OpenERP 7.0 so that they are well contained. 
I don't think that having such a module installed would be much of a 
challenge when migrating to 7.1 eventually either through the 
OpenUpgrade project or the paid migration service offered by OpenERP SA 
but in the latter case contact OpenERP SA to be sure.

Cheers,
Stefan.
