So maybe this goal would be more helpfully stated as "credit2 production ready", so that when we open the next development window we can change the default immediately? > * pvUSB support in libxl (fair) > - Chunyan Liu You can add in hvmUSB support in libxl here, with my name; and call it "fair". > * Blktap2 support (none) > - George Dunlap I'm planning on doing it, but I haven't spec'd the actual work yet. Is "fair" the best description for that? -George
