Hi!

Thanks for raising this. I need to apologize, I haven't been doing great job as 
a stable liaison recently. I'll try to fix stuff in the coming days.

Thanks, I've just approved this patch.

This was not a supported combination back then, so I'm not sure it's good time 
to start right now.

There were important changes of pyghmi that made virtualbmc possible at all. I 
don't think any versions can work with old pyghmi.

I'm not sure why removing of *_ssh drivers from master should necessary break 
stable/mitaka, where these drivers are present. Could you elaborate?

I'd prefer we fix them, I'll look into the problems raised in this thread.
