There was a long thread last week(?). I read half the messages when I
got home when it seemed things were in good hands. I'm sure there was
good reason.

I am running 3.4.7 (no change sets) on four servers without problems
however these are lower use servers (application proxies, AV proxies,
etc -- with exceptions, generally no longer user proxies). I haven't
noticed a problem but that does not mean there isn't one. Also, they
just went through a security patch cycle and were booted, so I don't
have useful data.

3.3 is EoL or near EoL.
