Hi,

I think Erno made a valid point here. If that would touch only vmware
code, that could be an option to consider. But it looks like both
patches are very invasive, and they are not just enabling features
that are already in the tree, but introduce new stuff that is not even
tested for long in master.

I guess we'll need to wait for those till Liberty. Unless
nova-core-maint has a different opinion and good arguments to approach
the merge.
