Stability of Mailman 2.1.10
I asked my ISP to upgrade to the new version of MM (they're using 2.1.9). I'm especially excited about the admin_member_chunksize feature. Their reply: "From their site it appears this is not a stable release...I expect we will not be upgrading until it is indicated it is the latest stable release."
Any comments I can pass along to them?
Thanks, Cyndi

I think it is quite solid. I am running my production lists on it, but most of the translations are not up to date, and there will be changes (I've already made 2) and probably one more release before the final. So, unless they want to upgrade twice, I think it's reasonable that they would want to wait for the final.

We will definitely do this before the official stable version is shipped, so that we can feel comfortable enough in the beta that is available.

I don't mind having us do the upgrade twice.

Works like a charm for our 8000 member lists.
