Define safe. The problem here is that this is very definitely new functionality. Different people have different views on how "stable" the 1.4.x tree should be. Some would like to see it contain only critical bug fixes. Others would like all of the new features required by their site to be included, but nothing else. Reconciling all of these interests is hard. It's even harder at this stage in the process, where virtually every developer is focussed on (and running) the 1.5.x tree. Backporting changes to 1.4.x comes pretty far down the list of priorities, and changes which are getting backported are unlikely to see any significant testing because we're all running (and testing) git master in an attempt to get 1.6 out of the door. So, at this stage in the game, I suspect we'll be even more conservative in terms of what changes go into 1.4.x - a series that probably only has one or two releases left in it. If you want the new stuff, then I'd urge you to run and test 1.5.x. The more eyes we can get on that, the better chance we have of producing a solid, stable, 1.6.0 Cheers, Simon. _______________________________________________ OpenAFS-info mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openafs.org/mailman/listinfo/openafs-info
