The original firefly freeze date was Jan 17, but I added another sprint 
because there were several things that weren't quite ready yet (the cache 
tier code and erasure coding).  Two weeks later we are much closer, but 
the EC functionality still needs a bit more time.  I would like to push 
out the freeze by one more sprint so that all of the code can land.  In 
particular, I would rather use the next sprint to get EC ready and shift 
other development focus to stability early, instead of pulling last-minute 
stuff in after the freeze date.

This bends/breaks the 'train model' schedule we are aiming for, but my 
assumption is that people are more interested in seeing the new 
functionality in place than in the exact timing.

The only time dependency that I am aware of is the looming 14.04 freeze 
date.  I'm hoping that we can (worst case) put an -rc release in place and 
update as the code stabilizes over the next several weeks.  James, will 
this be problematic?

Does anybody else have questions or concerns about adding in another 
sprint before we freeze for firefly?

Thanks- 
sage

Hi everyone,

It's taken longer than expected, but the tests for v0.78 are calming down 
and it looks like we'll be able to get the release out this week.

However, we've decided NOT to make this release firefly.  It will be a 
normal development release.  This will be the first release that includes 
some key new functionality (erasure coding and cache tiering) and although 
it is passing our tests we'd like to have some operational experience with 
it in more users' hands before we commit to supporting it long term.

The tentative plan is to freeze and then release v0.79 after a normal two 
week cycle.  This will serve as a 'release candidate' that shaves off a 
few rough edges from the pending release (including some improvements with 
the API for setting up erasure coded pools).  It is possible that 0.79 
will turn into firefly, but more likely that we will opt for another two 
weeks of hardening and make 0.80 the release we name firefly and maintain 
for the long term.

Long story short: 0.78 will be out soon, and you should test it!  It is 
will vary from the final firefly in a few subtle ways, but any feedback or 
usability and bug reports at this point will be very helpful in shaping 
things.

Thanks!
sage
