I am not sure this is too much of a problem, as long as the change is fairly well advertised (this list may be enough?). However, if I am going to have change my config, this would probably be the time to bring it fully into the OpenWRT /etc/config UCI regime. Personally, I find it convenient to use the same config files as on my other nodes, particularly copying host files. But, I would be willing to switch to configuration using UCI -- as long as it meant I could get rid of the tinc.conf and tinc-up completely. It might be nice to allow an option to keep using the hosts files -- i.e. be able to either use UCI to replace all the hosts files, or configure UCI to tell tinc to continue to use the hosts files. > Also they expect the VPN to continue working > even if they dont upgrade all the nodes at once.

As for whether this is the time to switch to 1.1, I would ask Guus for guidance. If I did switch my main openwrt router to tinc 1.1 I would probably use that as the trigger to start the process to switch my other nodes to 1.1 as well.
