Hi David,

Congrats (?) on taking over the btrfs-progs releases!

I was wondering if you could shed some light on the status of the
integration branches. Are these going to be discontinued now that you
are maintaining and tagging the official btrfs-progs releases, or will
they stick around, serving a similar purpose as before?

Cheers,
