I think you figured this out on IRC this morning, but the vast majority (though
not all) of the patches are available at the sqlalchemy-20 topic in Gerrit [1].
I've been working on this for almost 2 years now and have most of the core
projects well on their way but not everything is complete, as you'll tell from
that list. I have a canary patch [2] that I've been using to spot missing
services. I plan to pick up the Manila work again early in C, but could do with
help removing the use of autocommit in Heat and the weird test failures I'm
seeing in Cinder [3]. We also need reviews of the Masakri series (Is that
project dead? I can't tell). Once those are addressed, I _think_ we might be
done but who knows what else we'll find...

Cheers,
Stephen
