Airplanes are built, maintained, and operated under extremely restricted 
operational conditions.

Asterisk, which derives its very name from the notion of ubiquity, is 
being used by everyone to do everything, and regression testing in that 
environment is, um, "challenging."

I run a fairly recent version of SVN-trunk as my primary Asterisk 
server.  Traffic loads are relatively light because I'm a small-bones 
player, but I have lots of different channel technologies, many ITSPs, 
and a network of over a dozen cooperating servers running several 
different versions.  It's not a lie to say that my systems *never* go 
down as long as they're supplied with power--which in rural Indiana is 
never a sure thing.

I agree with Russell's initial assessment; Matt's phrasing, if not his 
intent, emanated from the land of the troll. . . if for no other reason 
than the implication that Digium is solely responsible for the 
development of the product.

FWIW.
