Well, we won't provide any new features - but yes, we're still using it, and provide our customers with a Pacemaker/Heartbeat stack (and a Pacemaker/Corosync one, too).
We also fix Pacemaker if support for Heartbeat is broken in there. > Also, if you can bring Heartbeat expertise > into the Debian HA team, I've got nothing against compiling support into > Pacemaker. Well, we hope to generate some money from our support... so I can't just say "we'll fix everything for free". But if redirecting people to (possibly paid-for) support is okay, I guess we'd be the right destination for such questions... Regards, Phil
