Hey All- We're quickly approaching 2013.1.3 release on Thurs Aug 08. I assume we'll be freezing stable/grizzly the branches this Thurs Aug 01 in preparation for next week's release. The review queue for the stable branches looks okay ATM, with most Critical bugs fixed. A few things as we move closer to freeze: - Are any projects outside of core expecting a stable release? Ceilometer, heat, etc? - The neutron branch has been pretty quiet. There are a number of bugs tagged, but not much being proposed for merge. Lastly, I'd like to bring attention to two bugs that could use some discussion on the list. Both fixes can be perceived as introducing new features, but folks are passionate about landing them in 2013.1.2: (cinder) solidfire: Add ability to override account prefix https://review.openstack.org/#/c/35406/ http://pad.lv/1179671 (nova) VNC console does not work with VCDriver https://review.openstack.org/#/c/38473/ http://pad.lv/1178369 These fixes seem to be driven by the needs of real customers with real deployments, and are both are isolated to the respective drivers. I'm personally in favor of granting a policy exception on these if it prevents deployers from rolling out with their own patches. What do others think? Thanks, Adam
