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.
