This is for the general discussion, an example of mission critical usage of the networking infrastructure that should be taken into consideration as people work through their ideas on where networking control is going. As to your question, yes, until the next release. I always face version upgrades with trepidation. I've still not fully recovered from the upgrade to saucy on my laptop.
