indeed! Consider the amount of trouble you have replacing apache 1.3 
with 2.0. We're aiming at a similar stable migration path, if there is a 
need for one. Apache is about solid, quality software, and avalon is no 
different.

As a general suggestion, when you're new to an open source project 
mailing list don't get too scared of wild ideas flying around all the 
time. We do that a lot, like spending a month or two talking about a 
radical new avalon 5, and then what happens in the end is that we 
solidify our release process even more and remove an '@depcrated' tag 
from 2 or 3 sourcefiles :D

cheers!
