Our fossil seems pretty stable. We are using it as the `production'
file server. The old worm is out of duty (but kept hanging around).

Okay, I'm going to be setting up a new file server for home in the next
week or so.  What's the official recommendation at this point: Should I
go with Fossil, or with the current fileserver?  Is Fossil considered
stable enough?  Is the on-disk format likely to change a lot?  (Not a
huge deal, but something that would necessitate inconvenient recoveries
from venti.)  When does Bell Labs plan to become fossilized?  Thanks.
