The way I see it a CI server is nothing but icing on\nthe cake so if something goes wrong with the CI server the shop\ndoesn't stop. If 0.6 solves the issues I'm encountering then I'm all\nfor it. Is it best to discuss that on the Hudson list or here?\n\n-- \n\nIn Christ,\n\nTimmy V.\n\nhttp://burningones.com/\nhttp://five.sentenc.es/ - Spend less time on e-mail\n"}]}
