Quoting Todd Piket <todd@mtu.edu>:
It is going to be difficult, at best, to get my institution to let me run "non-production" code in our production environment.
And how is a 0.* release any better?
Is dovecot-stable still around and, if so, is that considered production level? Does that have the plugin architecture in it? I have until March 5th so if 1.0 is out by then I'm good anyway ;).
Until 1.0 is released, I don't think you can truely call any of them "production releases". That doesn't mean they are bad (I run clamav in production, and it has never had a 1.0 release either).
Sometimes, the management just has to trust your opinion and technical knowledge, and have faith in you. In such cases, you better have your own faith in the product though, or you might get burned...
