Can you at least build one 8-stable system and see if the latest
patches resolve your problems before we carry on with the=20
"merge into 8-release" or other alternatives discussion ?

Qing:

What about the possibility of going to 7.3-RELEASE? There is a lot=20
that is good about 8.x, but when I build a production system I=20
prefer to use a release that will have extended support. After all,=20
it's awkward to build a production server that will need to be=20
taken down for a major upgrade in only one year.

I know that 7.2-RELEASE had problems with routing and PPP too, but=20
they were different ones. Have the 7-STABLE branch been patched=20
adequately since that time?
