[volunteergrid2-l] Expiring

[Zooko O'Whielacronx]

As a tahoe-lafs developer (and I am not a member of volunteergrid2 by
the way), I really want to encourage people to upgrade early and
often. The techniques we use to encourage this are: (a) a strong
policy of backward-compatibility -- we try to ensure that you can
always upgrade without trouble even if the other people on your grid
don't upgrade, and (b) software engineering practices intended to
minimize regressions -- even if new features come with new bugs, we
try to make sure that everything that worked in version X still works
in version X+1.

Obviously we're not perfect, but I do feel pretty confident about
advising people to upgrade to a new stable release.

Regards,

Zooko
