Previously Coda in 7.0 would likely panic on trivial use. Now it seems to frequently work on non-trivial use. I do not consider the FreeBSD Coda kernel module productionable in its current state in that it was largely useless on 7.0 prior to three or four days ago, which means that it's only had 2-3 days of testing in its more usable state. :-) I'd like to think that a reasonable goal for 7.1 would be to have Coda no less production-worthy than it is on Linux, the primary development platform for Coda, and to make significant progress on resolving the AFS situation (which will be something to write home about).
