   Yes.  Please consult the paper.

   Better setups, notably better hardware, are welcome.

A) -CURRENT is doing a lot better these days and in order to support
   its development and improvement further you are encouraged to put
   it in loaded environments, as well as provide valuable
   debugging information.

B) Your idea of putting -CURRENT on your production router yesterday
   made me run to the shed and cover my eyes and ears in fear and
   agony of the bleeding-edge.

   If you wish to put -CURRENT into production, please go to page 57
   (option A), otherwise page 2342 (option B).

Cheers,
Bosko.
