We can certainly discuss this at the hackathon, but given my other obligations (new migration first, XenServer second) I am probably not the best person to lead this, although I will certainly help where possible. > New migration. This is certainly the main focus of work, and top priority as far as myself, David, and XenServer is concerned. > cpuid leveling While this is certainly a key issue, it has been deprioritised behind new migration. There is still a lot of work to do there, so I can't make any guarantees at this point as to when I can start it, let alone finish it, and where that will sit in the 4.5 timeframe. Hopefully, but no certainty. > > * Andrew Benniest Prognosis: 100 % > Netback multiqueue Andrew left Citrix recently. As far as I am aware, the patches are all acked and ready to be merged. Baring any complications, David is probably the best person to keep on top of them, should any further work be required. (I realise I am nominating David for work without his explicit consent in this regard, but hope it will be accepted in principle) ~Andrew
