What about erlang 17 ? Does it have ABI incompatibilities too ?
Fwiw, I'm currently struggling with ejabberd for EL7. I have a working cluster,
but I'm stuck with ejabberd 15.07 which is the latest version supporting erlang
16. erlang 17 would allow to get ejabberd 17.04 and probably future versions to
run. I'd be willing to maintain ejabberd in EPEL 7, but I'd rather leave the
erlang stack to more skilled buddies.
