Echoing Jon’s point here – 

JH: “My thinking is I'd like to be able to recommend 4.0.0 as a production ready
database for business critical cases”

I feel that this is a standard that is both appropriate and achievable, and one 
I’m legitimately excited about.

Re: the current state of the test plan wiki in Confluence, I owe another pass 
through. There has been a lot of progress here, but I’ve let perfect be the 
enemy of the good in getting updates out. I’ll complete that pass later this 
week.

Cheers,

— Scott
