Will .Net 4.0 include a new CLR or keep with version 2.0

Will .Net 4.0 use a new version of the CLR (v2.1, 3.0) or will it stick with the existing v2.0?

Supplementary: Is it possibly going to keep with CLR v2.0 and add DLR v1.0?

Update: Whilst this might look like a speculative question which cannot be answered, the VS team appear to be releasing more and more info on VS10 and .Net 4.0 so this may very soon not be the case. (Info available here -> http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/vstudio/products/cc948977.aspx)

Yes, 4.7 overwrites any previously installed 4. x version. Make sure you don't also install 4.6, that will destroy the 4.7 install.

Yes, .NET 4.0 will introduce a new version of the CLR (which will also be at 4.0). The DLR will essentially become a part of the core framework, but it will still sit on top of the CLR.

4.0 is going to be another side by side release from what I have read.
