Daan, Do you mean that I should wait for the 4.5 branch to be out and try an upgrade hoping that the issues are fixed?
Why do you think downgrading the database is a tricky business? Let's say I do the following: 1. Backup existing data base 2. Remove all virtual routers 3. remove the existing db (make a backup just in case). 4. restore db from 4.3.2 5. downgrade packages 6. restart networking (hopefully it will recreate all virtual routers) Or do you think there might be some issues in this process?
