For the most part, it works fine. Two issues that I'm aware of:

1) a recent report of sending SIGTERM to the master and multiple subagents
resulting in one subagent not terminating and requiring a SIGKILL.

2) I've personally had the master agent crash on me a few times while I was
debugging a subagent. It doesn't happen very often, and is usually after I've 
killed the sub-agent while it was processing a request and restarted it
(several times). Of course it won't happen while I have the master running
under a debugger.

So I'd say it's ready, but not 100% bug free (just like the rest of the
project).

You are lost in a twisty maze of little standards, all different.
