I already have a PR (https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/pull/47177), since the 66 has to be upgraded (breaking changes from the skarnet stack), but have not yet pushed all needed programs. Maybe your approach is better :)

I will gladly work with you to advance **66**  in voidlinux, please sent an email - github comments is not the ideal place for collaboration beyond reviews :)

The current 66 release is stable and well-tested. See the links in the first post on how to setup a system with this. 0.7.0.0 is quite different - my current working branch for boot-66serv voidlinux is void-linux-dev: https://git.obarun.org/mobinmob/boot-66serv/-/tree/voidlinux-dev?ref_type=heads
What needs to be done for this is:
 - revamp the 66boot-* utils to use the new 66 subcommands (not really diffcult) - developed in [codeberg](https://codeberg.org/mobinmob/66-voidlinux)
 - revise the services in [voidlinux-66-services](https://github.com/mobinmob/void-66-services) for the new format (easy)
 - revice the documentation (straightforward)
 - test and then test some more :P 
 
I plan to do most of the above if not all (well testing will continue...) in the following days and the weekend...
