          We have already upgraded our servers too ... and didn't notice any problems yet.
          Planning to continue using VB 3.8 post EOL? Then join the VB 3.8 Forever group and vB3Forever.org!

            I'm waiting for a yum package for Fedora 4 (can't update - Plesk licence associated, and no support if I'll have some future problems) and I'll upgrade

            Edit: in test on atomic-testing repo, just waiting

            Edit #2: available on remi's repo, installed, all works
