Russel, seems we were thinking about the same things. I responded to the earlier thread. Does that answer your question? In summary, we could start trying to move to indy only on master. I think stability wise we are in good shape. There are some question marks still however about indy performance in some circumstances, so we no doubt would want to do a fresh round of performance checks.
