Btw., otherwise the big networking pull held up pretty well on a healthy range of testboxes i have, it looked a lot scarier to me in the morning than it turned out to be during the day. A couple of hundred tests passed already and no indication of any runtime fragility so far. Boot crashes/warnings can be annoying and hard to get a proper log of but once the log is available they are normally quite easy for developers to act upon. Ingo
