Yes, provide us feedback just like you are doing now.
Even if there are no (new) bugs, we would like to know. So far, it has been
really quiet, but I guess that has a lot to do with the hot weather, a world cup
and now people being on holiday.
So, we have not been feeling very confident to roll out the update, but we made
the decision that it will be coming next week.

Cool. Did you benchmark that? How has performance improved and on what hardware
are you running IPFire?
