That's great to here Tomasz, I've also been running it on many  
production system (both wheezy and squeeze versions of the kernel).  
Some people have reported problems with the 3.2 series, but nobody has  
reported a problem so far as I know for the ones I compile and package  
for psand repos. I've not really got to the bottom of why others are  
finding this instability (the config for their kernels is almost  
identical) and for me the kernels I've built have been completely solid.

I recently implement some blockio throttling with them, and again find  
them perfectly functional and reliable.

I'd love to here any reports on how other are finding them. When  
Wheezy is released in a few days I'll begin upgrading machines, many  
of which are running 3.2.42 already, to my wheezy versions of the same  
kernel. I intend to support 3.2.x for the whole of the wheezy's reign  
in Debian Stable. That's a plan, rather than a promise.

Cheers,
Ben
