I should not use it right now for production servers. But there is progress
being made on the milko side.

Milko is going into alpha testing any day now. Missing pieces on fileserver
are callbacks, and volser (creating volumes, dumps/backups and cloning,
this is done with a program called ``sked´´ today). And we need to check
performance too (there have been little work beening done on this though).

I use arla-0.27 on my computer (with a manitory restart of arla when tokens
expire, this bug is fixed in the cvs-tree). So I would say that
linux-client is getting better. Current BSD-code has locking problems and
those need to be ironed out before 0.28.
