Do you think that the changes since > March 24 -- other than GSS and NFSv4 -- are valuable and safe? Well... there is also the "high availability" (ha) statd/mountd stuff, but I think that becomes a no-op if you don't use the "-H" flag to the respective programs. Apart from that there are a couple of bug fixes that could be significant in some circumstances. I think "I think so" is about the best I can do, as I personally haven't done a lot of testing, and testing makes a big difference to confidence levels.
