I agree. I plan on upgrading as soon as a GA is released, but there could be instances where someone wants to wait to see if any bugs develop, or they have some type of dependency issue, that causes them to be a version behind from time to time.<div>
<br></div><div>I could see myself waiting a week after a release just to see that bugs are not introduced into the code. But others may want to wait a little longer. Do we want to enforce or encourage users to wait for a certain amount of time after a release before upgrading to the newest version of tahoe-lafs?<br>

I agree that a policy for settings need to be in place. Also, we might want to enforce that the tahoe-lafs version not be too old. (maybe no more than 2 versions old, which I believe at this time is 1.7x)</blockquote><div>
<br></div></div><div>As a general policy, I think no more than two versions old is good, BUT I think as soon as the new release comes out that shows available storage, everyone should upgrade to that one. Being able to see how much space is available in the grid is really important.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Likewise, in some future release basic accounting will come available, so I think that one might also be a "mandatory" upgrade which we want to get deployed more quickly than the two-version rule.</div>
