Airplanes are built, maintained, and operated under extremely restricted operational conditions. Asterisk, which derives its very name from the notion of ubiquity, is being used by everyone to do everything, and regression testing in that environment is, um, "challenging." I run a fairly recent version of SVN-trunk as my primary Asterisk server. Traffic loads are relatively light because I'm a small-bones player, but I have lots of different channel technologies, many ITSPs, and a network of over a dozen cooperating servers running several different versions. It's not a lie to say that my systems *never* go down as long as they're supplied with power--which in rural Indiana is never a sure thing. I agree with Russell's initial assessment; Matt's phrasing, if not his intent, emanated from the land of the troll. . . if for no other reason than the implication that Digium is solely responsible for the development of the product.
