I'm in the process of convincing the powers-that-are that we should
really update our production OS such that it's based on Debian 7 instead
of Debian 6 because sooner or later, some customer will start making
noises about CVE-this or CVE-that. But until said customers is making
noises, I'd have to do that (the update) as sort-of spare time activity
of me at some point in time where I can spare the time. And I've been
seriously busy with adding various features to our racoon version and
'our' kernel for almost a month now. No reason to worry about Debian
Jessie anytime soon :-)
