Apologize? You have not harmed me, lol.
In fact the OTSM builds are the centerpiece, in particular the OTSM TA triple. Other builds are usually less well tested, and have been getting attention little by little. I try to test all features, and for the most part combining them in different ways shouldn't really cause issues, but there's always a possibility. Until now, none of the switch builds were well tested . At this point I hope the dual switch configurations work and I plan to bench test soon.
OTC has certainly had some testing, although not since many versions back. In principle nothing has changed with the OTC code.
But, yes, the build and configuration platform is a big part of what I've tried to make HD about. It has very easy to use compiling scripts I hope and then once that makes a person comfortable, it is hopefully also very easy to get more brave and try to change the configurations files a little.
One detail I've just become aware of is that bistro had soft start by default and having started with the TA configuration of the code, I don't think I ever put that back into bistro-classic-HD. But that's a detail.
