Hi,

I followed the anouncement and the discussion. It seemed to be interesting.
Now, in a production environment and especially in a larger production 
environment there are very reasonable restrictions in regard to the 
version of usable software. We can only use the versions which are 
officially supported by Infrae, for obvious reasons.
Now I wonder, wether it makes sense at all for us to consider a use of 
that otherwise nice tool:
We cannot use Silva from svn (which branch? 2.0? 1.5? 1.6). Especially 
if we would have to use Silva-2.0 it is no option for us. Is Silva-1.6 a 
candidate for that tool?

Greetings,
Reinhard
