reasons I suggested it should be marked as experimental - it is
relatively new, as I said earlier. It is also lacking support from some
user interface tools. We can't, at the moment, use the guardian or the
control panel to shut a classic server down when it is running as an
application. This means that it is less manageable than SuperServer.
We'll get these shortcomings fixed for Fb 1.6. It will then be a lot
easier to encourage wider use. So it is preferable, for the time being,
that it is not blindly used by inexperienced users.
