Re: State of 3.17 code?

How's 3.17 looking? A few weeks back there was some discussion that people were still shaking out bugs, I'm wondering if it's worth upgrading from 3.16 out of CVS from right before 3.17 came out?
There are still some major features pending, and some stuff that's only weakly tested. I think all the known bugs have had a fix committed, but the unknown ones are still out there.
IPv6 and TLS are really the only "big" new features so far that I can think of, and TLS with anything except a self-signed certificate isn't easy to set up yet.
If neither of those are useful to you, there's not a feature reason to upgrade.
It really comes down to the question of "Would you rather find bugs and work to get them fixed, or run a BBS without encountering bugs?"
