The diffstat from 7.0.27 to 7.0.28 is

  69 files changed, 442 insertions(+), 238 deletions(-)

Excluding boinc-manager, it is

  59 files changed, 217 insertions(+), 165 deletions(-)

which is approaching a more reviewable size.  Extracting the bugfixes
still seems simpler, but if all unimportant changes are unrisky it
might be possible to sell the release team on just using the updated
upstream version.  (Disclaimer: I haven't reviewed the diff for
myself.)

Presumably meaning 7.0.4x or 7.1.0.  I fear that will be too large of
a change.

Thanks,
