It actually is:

http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-dev/2018-March/128899.html
-- All Hail our Newest Release Name - OpenStack Stein

(That email went into 'openstack-operators' maildir for me; my filtering
fault.)

I won't start another thread;, will just leave this existing thread
intact, as people will read it as: "whatever name the 'S' release ends
up with" (as 'fungi' put it on IRC).

Darn, I should've triple-checked before I assumed it is to be "Solar".
If "Stein" is confirmed; I'll re-send this email with the correct
release name for clarity.

Thanks for correcting.

[Openstack-operators] RFC: Next minimum libvirt / QEMU versions for "Solar" release

[Kashyap Chamarthy]

The last version bump was in "Pike" release (commit: b980df0,
11-Feb-2017), and we didn't do any bump during "Queens".  So it's time
to increment the versions (which will also makes us get rid of some
backward compatibility cruft), and pick future versions of libvirt and
QEMU.  

As it stands, during the "Pike" release the advertized NEXT_MIN versions
   
were set to: libvirt 1.3.1 and QEMU 2.5.0 -- but they weren't actually  
   
bumped for the "Queens" release.  So they will now be applied for the   
   
"Rocky" release.  (Hmm, but note that libvirt 1.3.1 was released more   
   
than 2 years ago[1].)  

While at it, we should also discuss about what will be the NEXT_MIN 
   
libvirt and QEMU versions for the "Solar" release.  To that end, I've   
   
spent going through different distributions and updated the 
   
DistroSupportMatrix Wiki[2].   

Taking the DistroSupportMatrix into picture, for the sake of discussion,
how about the following NEXT_MIN versions for "Solar" release:  
   

(a) libvirt: 3.2.0 (released on 23-Feb-2017)   

This satisfies most distributions, but will affect Debian "Stretch",
   
as they only have 3.0.0 in the stable branch -- I've checked their
repositories[3][4].  Although the latest update for the stable
release "Stretch (9.4)" was released only on 10-March-2018, I don't
think they increment libvirt and QEMU versions in stable.  Is
there another way for "Stretch (9.4)" users to get the relevant
versions from elsewhere?   

(b) QEMU: 2.9.0 (released on 20-Apr-2017)  

This too satisfies most distributions but will affect Oracle Linux
-- which seem to ship QEMU 1.5.3 (released in August 2013) with
their "7", from the Wiki.  And will also affect Debian "Stretch" --
as it only has 2.8.0

Can folks chime in here?
