Hi Michael,
We are currently using the following 3 fixes:
0006581: Image freezes (background processes like Seaside make no progress) and Squeak hoggs CPU
This is the image freezing problem, where connecting with VNC and moving the mouse would bring the image alive again. When being stuck, Squeak hoggs the CPU, memory consumtion is stable.
http://bugs.squeak.org/view.php?id=6581 Note: fix takes only effect if Preferences enable: #serverMode
----- 0006588: Broken Semaphore>>critical: leads to frozen processes in Delay
VNC doesn't respond to UI events, 0% cpu usage, several processes frozen in Delay although our Seaside server still responds.

----- 0006576: Delay is not thread-safe
Delay is not thread-safe since currently the calling process updates the internal Delay structure itself. If the process gets terminated while doing this (e.g., adding/removing from SuspendedDelays) the whole system is left in an inconsistent state and breaks.

In addition, I unload OmniBrowser (which is then added again with some other IDE enhancements during our automatic build process but only for development images and not for test server and production images). Also, I do some cleanup and change some preferences, and do some manual cleanup (e.g., remove workspaces, hide flaps etc.).

At netstyle.ch we are using 3.9 for many projects now and we will not move to 3.10 soon. We're using some of the critical fixes, so basically that means we already have our own 3.9.1 image... I assume, quite some people are using 3.9 in production as well. So, if somebody is interested we could join forces and release a 3.9.x from time to time.
Which fixes are you using? It might make sense to also include them in the 3.8.2, if not already. The 3.8.2 updates should be working in 3.9 as well, but need to check. So we would have at least a starting point.
