The webdb server (www.cacert.org) is running Etch, and on top of that the
CAcert application is running with an outdated version of php4.
As sysadmin I'd rather change it this today than tomorrow, but before that
can be done, application development will need to make sure that the
application will run with the newer versions.
Given the fact that Etch security support will run out eventually, I'd say
that we must upgrade to Lenny before the end of 2009 I'd say. An upgrade
of the signing server to Lenny has recently been performed without trouble
(as part of the hardware upgrade).
