Why does OpenVZ (for Fedora anyway) come with such an old version of 
DRBD (8.0.7) instead of the newer 8.2 series?

Is there any reason I shouldn't or couldn't upgrade DRBD?

AFAIK, 8.0 is a stable branch. though sure update to 8.0.12 is required long ago...
But in reality, I was simply asked to include exactly this versions by the developers
working with DRBD.
If they believe it must/can be updated to 8.2 branch - why not?

Huh; how odd. Well, I'll run some tests on 8.2 and let you know what I 
find: compiling, functionality, etc.
