Comment 31 for bug 1383674

Just to be clear, the upgrade impact only affects those upgrading from Juno to Kilo. The liberty agent supports the hitless startup so changing to the liberty agent from Kilo should not cause an outage.

So if you are already on Kilo, the only thing a backport would help with is maintenance restarts.

Something that may be worth testing is running the liberty agent with a Kilo server. In fact, making the liberty agent backwards-compatible with a Kilo server is something sellable as a backport since liberty is fresh and it shouldn't be too invasive of a change.
