Hi Tony,

Thanks for sending this out, and for the complete summary.  I'm
inclined to lean towards working the option for Cinder personally.
Granted it looks like the update is in the distro packages to fix
this, but I'm wondering about backport and cases for installs that are
on say 12.04?  Maybe that's not an issue?

Anybody else have thoughts on this?

Thanks,
John
