the upgrade turned out to be way too problematic.  even after multiple
PRs addressing regressions, new ones continue to turn up; see
scala/scala-dev#92 for details on the latest
regressions. for past history (including details on regressions), see
these PRs in this repo: scala#159, scala#157, scala#156, scala#155, scala#154, scala#142, plus issue

so what's next after this?

- we could maybe still consider upgrading for 2.11.9, but someone
  would need to thoroughly QA it on all platforms and assure us there
  are no regressions

- or we could restrict the upgrade to 2.12.x and hope for
  partially crowdsourced QA so that regressions would be caught
  during the milestone and release candidate phases.

I lean towards leaving 2.11.x frozen at 0.6.4, at least unless the
upgrade brings concrete benefits to end users (no one has listed
any, to my knowledge).  if this is mainly just dogfooding, then
2.12.x is a better context for that.

this restores the 2.11.7 status quo for the 2.11.8 release.
