The biggest bug you have to watch out for in Elite is the +L channel link
mode.  Using it incorrectly, namely setting two channels to link to each
other, leads to a core dump of the ircd. 
i.e. /mode #foo +L #bar
     /mode #bar +L #foo

The first user who tries to join either channel will get bounced between
channels until the ircd core dumps.

Elite 2.0 is out now, non-beta, but it is no longer free and the +L bug
has not been fixed.

Any Dreamforge ircd works well with Services.  Bahamut may have some
compatibility issues since it is part Dreamforge and part hybrid.
