[lustre-devel] DNE2 feature patch landing

[Patrick Farrell <paf@cray.com>]

Speaking for myself (IE, not on behalf of my employer), strongly 
endorsed.  While the feature freeze is important, there's a good reason 
for the slight slippage here, and this is an important feature.  I have 
no issue with slight slippage as long as a serious, good faith effort 
was made with a realistic plan to hit the cutoff, as I think is the case 
here.
