I think it would be good to main two lists. One of "the stuff people are working on overall", and "the subset of it intended/expected for the forthcoming release". Stuff will invariably slip, but even if the work isn't intended for the forthcoming release, it it still useful to see if anyone in the community is working on a related topic. ~Andrew _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@lists.xen.org https://lists.xen.org/xen-devel
