Hi,

we use our kernels in production, others do too. They've been somewhat  
late on fixing vulnerabilities (Herbert is currently patching for  
stack clash), but other than that they are more than stable, we've had  
uptime of years on some of them, though obviously the newer ones we  
haven't had time for that. Linux-Vserver is a very mature environment  
with stability levels which haven't had any failures for us in a long  
time.

I've been having some problems booting 4.1 on some servers, probably  
config issues, but other than that it's fine. 3.18 is the most common  
production kernel for us.

You should find in general that they just work.

The above statements do not represent any kind of warrantee or guarantee.

Cheers,
Ben
