Josh Thompson commented on VCL-577:
-----------------------------------
arkurth:
bq. I don't necessarily see it as needing to be included, but the issue
includes a patch file to the VCL code and there was a fair amount of
communication in the issue comments. The responsibility of testing it and
getting it into the release rests on her. We have been bitten in the past by
removing a module someone contributed who was not active in the community at
the time. Although this is not the same situation, we need to be completely
transparent and be sure to not surprise anyone. I'll send her a direct
message. If she doesn't respond or is not able to prepare it for the release
within our time constraints then we shelve it.
jfthomps:
Unless I missed something, the patch doesn't actually modify any of the
existing code but just adds files that use the API and can reside anywhere on
the webserver. She did add one table and a view to the database though. It is
a good idea to reach out to her. I'm interested to see if she wants to
continue to maintain this.

> Cloud Broker tool that will enable VCL users to specify their requirements
> via policies. For instance, they can specify their security needs, their
> software needs etc. using a web interface. The broker tool will discover the
> image that best matches these policies.
> The users (or broker tool ) can then issue a reservation for that particular
> image. This feature will be very useful for instances where the VCL user is
> not sure which VCL image will best match their needs.
