Hi Bryant,

Thanks for sharing your experience, it encourages us to try and test 1.8 
throughly before we upgrade our 1.4 boxes, jumping the 1.6 step in the 
upgrade path. We are also concerned about the short support time that is 
left for 1.4 and 1.6, so 1.8 would be the best in support terms. This 
goes in concordance for what I think the asterisk team wants, that is, 
to focus on only one well supported version instead of having to support 
several parallel branches which mean more work and "cross-fixing" 
between them.

Cheers,
