In other words, just as it was in 1.5, the new parser is cool enough to implement the framework now to ease backport efforts, but untested enough that we'd rather defer use of that framework until after we are back out of freeze. > > Benoît's series is for 1.7 as well, if I understood Stefan correctly.

I guess I also need to comment on that series - we're late enough that bug fixes are okay, but new options are risky; and the tail end of that series adds new options to throttling as part of switching to a new algorithm. -- Eric Blake eblake redhat com +1-919-301-3266 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org
