> Ian and Ian, anything to add? What are your opinions?I think COLO is an exciting and important feature. Unfortunately I agree with Wei that at this stage taking both series as they currently stand into 4.6 is not tenable. (Perhaps if I had been able to help earlier in the release cycle this would have been different; so for that I'm sorry.) I would like to see at least the early parts of `COLOPre' in staging as soon as possible. There is much preparatory work there which would be annoying to rebase around, and which has collateral benefits. If I can take one example, 11/25 "tools/libxc: support to resume uncooperative HVM guests". Based on my current understanding this is even a bugfix. Sadly it is not quite ready (or at least, wasn't last night). But with a few more days we can probably get much of this cleanup and preparatory work in. Assuming nothing goes horribly wrong, I am very optimistic about COLO making it upstream soon, just not in 4.6. Thanks, Ian. _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@lists.xen.org http://lists.xen.org/xen-devel
