You have a point there. It's up to the people who talk about real-world
problems with serf to actually submit bugs. Of course, given the nature
of the bugs, they'll most likely be close to impossible to reproduce.

None of the changes to date were so potentially destructive to existing

this whole discussion is nothing but hot air and we might as well toss a
