Hey Willy! I'm involved in a group that is building a highly-scalable open source virtual appliance-based load balancer for use with cloud operating systems like OpenStack. We are planning on making haproxy the core component of the solution we're building.
At my company we've actually been using haproxy 1.5 for a couple years now in production to great effect, and absolutely love it. But I'm having trouble getting the rest of the members of my team to go along with the idea of using 1.5 in our solution simply because of its "official" status as a development branch. There are just so many useful new features in 1.5 that I'd really rather not have to go back to 1.4 in our solution... So! My question is: What can we do to help y'all bring the 1.5 branch far enough along such that y'all are comfortable releasing it as the official "stable" branch of haproxy? (Note we do have people in our group with connections in some of the major linux distros who can help to fast-track its adoption into "official" releases of said distros.)
