- vCPU limits; how much testing has anyone done of 64-way guests?
- Finding a way to enable virtio by default; any clever ideas?

Both of these are really in the category of, getting good performance 
out of KVM when running it as a casual user (like via virt-manager).

Casual users starting 64-way guests?

A 4-socket octal core is 32 physical cores or 64 threads.  That's not a 
super high end system today and it's going to approach mid-range in the 
not too distant future.

Is there a plan for it? Which way is it going to happen? Code freeze + rc[0-x]?

I won't be at the KVM call, but I can work on that in the next days.

Basically the stable tree already contains a lot of fixes and we can do
a call for patches for this release. One week should be enough, so that
we can have the release at the end of next week (a few technical days
are needed in addition).

Thanks.

I'd like to see more frequent stable releases, at least if the stable 
branch contains fixes to user-reported bugs (or of course security or 
data integrity fixes).

I remember someone has stepped in to take that work, but I don't exactly
remember who.

Would you like to see more frequent stable releases or more frequent 
master releases?

The later is a bit easier since it doesn't involve maintaining and 
testing two code bases.

Yes.  But in this context I'm interested in stable releases.  We have 
bugs reported, fixed, and the fix applied, yet the fixes are unreachable 
to users.

Especially so since qemu-kvm 0.12-stable hasn't been merged with qemu 
basically since 0.12.4 came out. I was trying to help one of the Gentoo 
maintainers find post 0.12.4 patches the other day and had to point them to 
the upstream qemu stable tree.

An email should suffice to get things merged.

I have offered to take care of this, but so far I do not have commit
access.

You don't necessarily need commit access for that. Just create your own
tree with backported patches, and then send a stable pull request to 
the mailing list.

Precisely.  In the case of stable, that means watching the mailing list 
and backporting patches as appropriate and periodically doing pull requests.
