All tests I've run have failed and there's no possibility to migrate installations away from 1.4 yet.  I know that some people run 1.8 in production and this mail is not to discuss that, it's just to point out that for my customers, closing 1.4 support at this time will be hurtful since there's no alternative to upgrade to.

As I said, I did not want to start a discussion about 1.8 and no, I haven't had time to spend on opening bug reports with adequate information and following up subsequent requests. I have bug reports for pre-1.8 release regarding IPv6 that is still unmanaged though.

Please don't focus on this right now. I want to be able to move forward and help stabilize 1.8, but currently there are no resources available for me to do that (as I stated earlier). The main issue for me here is whether you are going to stop supporting 1.4.
