The things that need to be polished in XORP PIM-SM are actually just
few and they are relatively minor, so probably they won't matter for
most practical purposes. In fact, it has been relatively stable and
has been used by a number of institutions for at least an year.

If you run into any issues, you can use the xorp-hackers or
xorp-users mailing lists for help.

Hope that helps,
