And we are at 8.0.8 at the moment. OK if it's your policy to wait for something to become feature frozen before it gets included, fine. But it's not like the "protocol will change" in 8.2. 8.2 gets new features. When they become available, you don't have to use them. If you choose not to, 8.2 is fully compatible with 8.0. So it is safe to upgrade from 8.0 to 8.2, one node by one, and then enable 8.2 features as needed. > Regarding CentOS4 - yes, there might be a possibility to also offer an > drbd8 - but the 0.7 version has to stay.

I didn't mean to make a case for pulling 0.7 out of CentOS 4. > So how about drbd (0.7 line) and drbd8 (the 8.0 line) in CentOS 4? That sounds good, and is the way the Debian guys are doing it too.
