I had a chance to talk to some of the RedHat folks about Clevis @ the
plumbers conference earlier this month. Interesting & exciting stuff.

The next release of the tools doesn't depend on a new release of the
TSS libraries so that should be off the critical path. The tools
release is however blocked on a bug in the tabrmd. This is my next work
item.

With the tools blocked on the tabrmd we'll be doing a release of the
two in tandem. I'm expecing that the work I've signed up for there to
be on the order of "a few weeks". So while I'm always hesitant to state
release goals publicly I think this can be ready for a release toward
the end of October. Can't make any guarantees but that's our goal.

Best,
Philip
