Yes. Actually  https://review.gluster.org/#/c/glusterfs/+/22231/ says
"Fixes", but I think its made dependent on another patch which says
"updates". The dependency order should've been other way. This might be the
reason why bug state is not changed.

Can this go into the next release?

The crash fixes - this should do for the moment though one user has
reported a crash even after turning off wb. IMO, we should go ahead with
what we have. @Raghavendra Gowdappa  , what do you
think?

Re: [gluster-packaging] [Gluster-Maintainers] Release 5.4: Earlier than Mar-10th

[Shyam Ranganathan]

Time to reset and understand where we are at here. The dates are
slipping, but the tracker is still having the following blockers.

We need to either understand when these would be fixed, and take a call
on creating 5.4 with known issues not addressed in the blocker, or wait
for the fixes. Responses to the bugs and updates to bugzilla would help
deciding on the same.

1) Title: glustereventsd does not start on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1649054

@aravinda, any updates? Should we wait, of will this take more time?

2) Title: glusterfs FUSE client crashing every few days with 'Failed to
dispatch handler'
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1671556

All patches against the bug are merged, but bug remains in POST state,
as none of the patches claim that the issue "Fixes" the reported problem.

Are we awaiting more patches for the same? Du/Milind/Nithya?

3) Title: flooding of "dict is NULL" logging & crash of client process
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1671603

Still in NEW state, Du/Amar, do we have a date for resolution?

Thanks,
Shyam
