This was the request: https://github.com/apache/cloudstack/pull/16
And JIRA: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CLOUDSTACK-7143
We all get emails from Github PR (just re-checked) so you may find them on the 
ML.

I was reviewing this Github pull request which came in couple of weeks ago. 
This is well tested and successfully refactors the way we build systemvms. It 
was only merged when it passed build tests and painful manual QA (I did on 
KVM). Just want to mention that this is not my code or $dayjob work, I was just 
trying to help out the contribution from community member(s).

Pardon my ignorance but I was not aware about our official status of 
master/4.5.0 that we’re already passed feature freeze. Can you confirm the 
official stand/status on master/4.5.0 and when do we plan to cut the release 
branch, and if we are changing anything with the way we do releases etc?

I see a lot of changes that comes in every other day on master. The pattern I 
see is that developers check-in barely working feature and then find the excuse 
to check-in more patches/commits as bug fixes where they actually are trying to 
complete an incomplete feature. I think this is a chronic issue which should be 
checked and everyone should make an effort to work in their feature branch, 
work on their git-foo, rebase/fix-conflicts and send merge request or Github 
pull requests or request using reviewboard. I think this will allow all of us 
to participate in on-going efforts and would help improve its quality using QA 
and code reviewing.
