Re: Problem with CVS source

Nikos,

Sharing my own experience: we've been running many CVS snapshots on
production servers handling hundreds of thousands of messages daily for
about 5 years and never had an issue that could be attributed to unstable
code.

I consider CVS as production quality, and I'm pretty sure I'm not the only
one.

Regards,

Alejandro
