 Hi,
 Thanks for delivering it. It is good to have it because it is a=20
reference of the all tested and valid NFSV4
patches gathered in one delivery we can base on and which is accessible=
=20
easily at only one place:your CITI page.

We know what it is in and where there is an issue we know the level of=20
patches level we are talking about.
It gives the NFSV4 patchs context to reproduce an anomaly to allow=20
people to talk about the same level of NFSV4.
It allows also to  make a status of its quality to facilitate a migrati=
on.

Best Regards
