The unfortunate truth is that it's because we haven't been putting
enough time into Owl development and maintenance lately.

So no difference for you, unless you do this kind of experimental
rebuilds.

If you do high(er) risk things such as maintaining a mail users database
in LDAP, then maybe it'd make more sense for you to use Owl as an OpenVZ

other services (not even SSH) on such containers to the Internet.
