Hi Mark,
Hope you are well.
You've probably noticed that I accepted a few merges to stable/folsom. I spotted on a comment for one that stable/folsom was in freeze until this Thursday. I didn't realise this, which is why you will have seen a few land today.
I apologise for this, and whilst i'm confident they were safe and the regression potential is low; I am willing to help solve any issues this causes (Including backing them out). Thanks for the heads-up. Partly my bad, I should have been keeping a closer watch out. My understanding is that the release date is the 31st. I do not recall any update about the stable branch being in a frozen state. At last nights Quantums meeting I mentioned that I was planning to backport some

2012.2.3 is scheduled for January 31st. I'm planning on calling whatever we have on January 25th a RC and getting aggressive about punting anything risky until the next release.

Thanks. Guess I missed these.
I -2ed some Nova changes on Friday:

The process isn't perfect, but I'm reluctant to get into the complication of doing the equivalent of milestone-proposed for stable releases. We'll probably end up doing that eventually, though. I do not think that we need to be extreme about it, but a sync a few days before to understand that we are all on the same page would suffice. That's what we did for 2012.2.1:
http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-stable-maint/2012-November/00...
and ended up with a regression in Nova:

A week really is a fairly minimal amount of time to lock things down before a release.
The three changes merged since we froze were:
https://review.openstack.org/19264 nova: Fix to include error message in instance faults
https://review.openstack.org/20644 quantum: LinuxBridge: update status according to admin_state_up This is not a MUST have for this release. It is very nice to have an improves the usability. What is the risk - very low. It would be nice to have https://review.openstack.org/#/c/20677/ in conjunction with this one. Please note that the patch https://review.openstack.org/#/c/20676/ depends on the aforementioned patch. Please add your justifications to the review - i.e. how user-visible the issue, how low risk the fix is, how well tested it is etc.
Sure NP. I'll add my comments.
Thanks, Mark.
