We are using it as well and are doing several test-installations a 
day/week using these packages. No problems have been reported yet. They 
had been using the "official" (rebuilt) packages from Linbit which were 
kernel-dependent.

I am willing to upgrade the packages and maintain them regarding listening 
to bug-reports and fixing items. But I cannot guarantee to have an 
environment for testing in the future. So we still require a small 
community of people to test them.

Our website probably should allow to build communities and improve 
communication between users of packages. People should be able to 
subscribe to a package and automatically receive update notices for 
testing and stable packages. Something to think about :-)
