Hi Chip, If I could add my 10 cents worth.
I know of a number of potential CloudStack users who want to deploy CloudStack, but ONLY when this feature is available as it is critical to their deployment plans. One of them is actually looking at OpenStack as an alternative! What I am also confused about is that it has been in Citrix CloudPlatform since 3.0.6 release, and has been improved in subsequent updates (2x patch releases) If it is working in CloudPlatform, we should be able to get it into the CloudStack 4.1 release Therefore I vote for option 1: Pull the feature into 4.1 and do the relevant testing I am sure I can get some volunteers to help with testing, myself included.

This relates to the security groups feature being available when using VLANs in an advanced networking zone. This feature was apparently broken in the 3.x series, and is not slated to be reintroduced until 4.2. This is a horrible situation, and one that we've now encountered for a third time. IMO, we have 2 very specific options: 1) We pull that new feature into 4.1, and do the relevant testing. 2) We do not pull that feature into 4.1, and release as is with a strong message in the release notes highlighting that we know that 2.x to 4.1 will not support it (and state that those users requiring the feature should wait for 4.2). At this point, I don't have a preference. We probably need to understand the effort for (1), as well as understand who would do that work (dev AND testing).
