A lot of us do. There is a problem with the re(4) setup as well in that if you do not send packets out yourself the port takes a very long time to come up and unblocked. I haven't discussed that with them or tested with an updated HEAD (since end of October). But yes, I am running HEAD on an EQ4 as well. If you have problems and a personal email contact at Hetzner feel free to talk to me. I am "local" (a couple of 100km away in the same country) and a FreeBSD committer and I can probably figure things out with them or properly proxy requests. /bz -- Bjoern A.
