Note: "permalinks" may not be as permanent as we would like,
direct links of old sources may well be a few messages off.


I noticed that the head of the repository
  http://git.drbd.org/gitweb.cgi?p=drbd-8.4.git;a=summary
does compile with linux-3.9.4.

Is it reasonably (as in: no worse than with 8.4.3) safe to use
the 530e59afe31e9371c2e6c341b72ca5f54bc86841 tree?
