I'm all for trying out things that could help the network, but I don't
like jumping in head first. Not to mention I'd imagine lots of people
aren't going to upgrade to this newest version, leaving us in a
situation with a mixed node behavior. I guess my response is that we
should proceed with some caution, as breaking the network isn't a good
idea.
A very high priority should be getting a solid debian package out, as
there's _lots_ of people using the old one even with its problems.
RPMs for the non-debian users would be good as well, so if anyone has
RPM packaging experience, that'd be a great help.
