well comparing to more and more frequent down times, and a data loss.. i think a system which prove to be at least twice stable than current will be a big advantage. But you will never know before you try. And again: who maintaining squeaksource? Nobody. And now ask yourself: how you will manage your risks in such situation? Will you prefer, maybe a bit flaky system, which has a maintainer who will eventually fix all issues, or a system which "lets hope it will works a bit more" and nobody who are maintaining it? I don't expect that new stuff will be _sohhh_ _goooood_ out of the box. What i do expect however, that new system will be actively maintained. Otherwise if we don't have such guarantees then i don't see reason do migrate at all, because couple years later we will be in same situation: having problems but nobody to address them. > my 0.019999... > > -- > Cesar Rabak > -- Best regards, Igor Stasenko AKA sig.
