Then you don't even want to hear about my 2.2-STABLE systems running revenue generating production stuff. They're rock solid. Never had a panic, or unplanned reboot. Do what I want them to. I have =no= (repeat, no) reason to upgrade. New systems we build are going up as 3.4-STABLE, and I, for one, want the 3.5 closure release. I can understand wanting to play with the newer stuff. But I'm not committing bread-n-butter to anything not cooked in the field for a while. I'll let others pioneer. So when I see the raft of "I just upgraded my 3.x machine to 4.0" messages, my first reaction is "Why?" and my second is "better you than me" and my third is "I hope you uncover some obscure bug so it can be fixed before I get there." -crl -- Chad R.
