 > > I wonder if we should wait with shipping 0.2.3.x until it can be
 considered stable. The purpose of the Torouter is to provide a (cheap)
 consumer-level Internet router that is a tor bridge. Shipping with
 software that cannot be considered stable and/or hasn't been tested in the
 wild may not be a good idea.

 > I think we've waited long enough and testing with 0.2.3.x should be
 fine. We're doing releases of it, we should consider it experimental which
 is of course the goal of the Torouter; it is an experiment. If we find it
 non-functional or that it is breaking, we should fix it. We need a UPnP
 and NATPMP client for these devices to work easily.

 As far as I know, Tor 0.2.3.x breaks every few days and shipping 0.2.2.x
 is much saner. The Torouter is an experiment in getting non-tech users to
 run bridges. I don't see how we need to complicate that with shipping an
 experimental version of Tor. There are enough people out there who can
 help test 0.2.3.x when it's ready for testing in the wild. And at some
 point we can also include it on the Torouter. I just don't think now is a
 good time. if anyone wants to want to convince me otherwise, go for it...
