We use caretaker and it is a good solution. We're running the 'server' 
on a 4.5 instance, and track all other systems with it. Afaik we just 
fixed minor things, like the core version test that didn't fix our 
needs, and I think we applied a hack to the extension version test or 
something. The general code architecture is clean and pretty easy to 
understand, even with the bad documentation of the project.

I know that a lot larger companies use the caretaker, and I'm sure that 
the project leaders and co-leaders will happily support any action that 
is taken to fix issues and to further develop the project. Please just 
get in contact with them and help with patches. The whole project is 
very cool and it would be great to see some action.
