One consideration is that 4.1 is shaping up to be low on features (other than the ones on ip clearance which generally have already been qaed on account that they've been released). The new storage engine getting the benefits of 2 months of QA by itself (assuming Edison's hookup code makes it into 4.1) is actually a good thing. I'm less concerned about Spring part as it has low risk in what it affects. Edison in writing the new storage stuff also attempted to add a standard for integration testing. It would be good to get evals from everyone on if it is enough. --Alex
