I notice that metallb is still marked as Beta quality. I wonder what it would take more to get it to be more production ready?

Thanks,

Nat

Good question. It's already in production in many places. I'd support just updating the text on the web site to reflect that.

Well, config and some things can use some tunings. But it is a de
facto stable format, due to its usage over time. And we won't break
things in horrible ways, for sure :)

Yeah, there's always something ...

The change to allow using FRR as the BGP stack is one that's a pretty significant change and important to me for the long term. We weren't going to rip out the existing BGP stack though, or at least not soon.

It would be nice if you can tag those tasks. If there is anything I can help contribute, I am willing to contribute as well.

Help is always welcome and encouraged! Take a look at open PRs and open issues on github. We also have some development oriented discussion in #metallb-dev on the kubernetes slack.
