Lenny+1 is now. I would now like to have some feedback from the FTP team.
Did someone start working on that? Can it be implemented on the current codebase or did you plan to add this support only in some future version (the one with the new DB schema for instance)? Can someone mentor me in the dak codebase if I want to start working on the corresponding dak patch? In any case, I'd like to get the ball rolling so that we can switch early in the cycle.
