Fair enough as a personal choice. However, do bear in mind that Red
Hat 8.0 will not go away -- and in a few months there will be 8.1.
Red Hat 8.x is here and is a reality that must be faced.

Right, after many moons, and no doubt many bugfixes and updates, it will have proved itself and will then be useful for production servers. I wasn't saying anything about Cyrus. Berkeley DB 4.1 is supported in the latest Cyrus releases, after all.

You mentioned using RH 8.0 as a server platform, and all I'm saying is that anyone using 8.0 in production right now is a lot more adventurous than most.
