I for one would be very happy if you could include it in the next
beta, especially if it's an option, then no harm will be done.

I can't get it to run reliably either, sometimes it runs for weeks and
sometimes it crashes several times an hour.

I'm building it for the Blastwave project (http://www.blastwave.org)
but I can't release it when I know that it's not stable. I would just
get a lot of bug reports. :-)

Please include it since it concerns stability.
