[Server-devel] Server-devel Digest, Vol 76, Issue 3

[Samuel Greenfeld]

There is a need for some continued maintenance of the XS: there are known
bugs, and security patches could be required from time to time.

Just because something is not "unstable" does not mean that development has
to completely cease.

It is not clear to me though who will continue to do this work.
