Hi Tigran,

Since there is one remaining open issue on the server side changes that needs
signoff from the general fs maintainers, I agreed with Bruce & Chuck to target
5.9, as the 5.8 merge window is currently already open, and all the activity
is centered around it.

For the client side, there are no open issues that were flagged, so from my
side it's all ready to go - except for me to post a v3 rebased to
the latest tree, which is easy to do.

In other words, I think it's ok for the client side to go in to 5.8, but it
probably makes more sense to have it go in to the same version as the server
side, so that's what I proposed to Anna & Trond.
