All the Mk1 Sherpas developed small cracks coming out from the silly crown cut out on the gusset. I doubt most Mk1 owners even noticed and I have seen much worse than that ridden quite a bit. Please do check with Dan Stanton but IIRC he said its not a major issue.
Edit I also seem to remember Brant at On One arguing that closed gussets were a really bad idea as there was no where for the usage stress to go. Mk2 & Mk3 Sherpas have open gussets without the crown cut outs
