I'd be interested in hearing what you (or anyone else) expect > from a "stable" v1.0 release. as storage is a fundamental service there are for sure other "stable" demands than for a newsreader/mailclient/whateveruncriticalapp. I'll give it a try to describe my idea of stable: - stable means promised features (http://ceph.newdream.net/about/) work reliable - no workarounds needed to use these features - (at least) in a series of stable releases (aka "1.x") i can upgrade without downtime - in a series of stable releases a can do a rolling upgrade - in a stable series there no design changes introduced - Thomas
