There may be certain days when you check asterisk from the -HEAD branch
that might be less stable than other days. 

The comments above seem to come from a certain type of "admin"
personality. That personality is rampant in MS Windows shops and in some
big iron shops. 

Right now this is the uptime from my main PBX.
phone*CLI> show uptime
System uptime: 21 weeks, 21 hours, 16 minutes, 50 seconds
Last reload: 1 week, 1 day, 15 hours, 53 minutes, 40 seconds


As of this message, we have run about 7200 calls this month alone, or
about 250 calls average per day right now.

For November and December minus 2 days, 15300 calls or about 259 calls a
day average.

I don't have problems.
