This is a followup to my last email[1] where a lot of discussion happened

around the nature of EM branches and was/is it a successful model or not.

This was also discussed during the Vancouver summit + PTG event and also

recently in the TC meeting concluding that we will start a discussion again on

ML regarding the EM model.

However, my original intent of the mail was not to start a wider discussion about

the EM model (which is a good discussion but not my intent) but a way to take

feedback on Cinder team's decision to EOL the current EM branches and if it

affects any operators, vendors etc.

This mail is another reminder and a way to acquire more feedback on the above

decision so the Cinder team can plan the process accordingly. We already have

patches proposed to EOL all EM branches[2].
