Out of the above,

220 - will be an on-going effort. Some effort towards that is already
started, and merged.

384 - https://review.gluster.org/19098 is the patch with most of the
changes. I have now split the patch into two parts. Current one mostly will
pass the regression and just introduces all the new functionality. (best
way to do the diff is 'diff -pru client-rpc-fops.c client-rpc-fops_v2.c',
and similar on server to see if the diff is fine).

The other patch will follow and can be treated as a bug fix on the base
patch, and I am fine to send a rebase to release branch after it merges in
master later (but before release-4.0 happens).

203 - Is again a larger task, where individual translator owners should
make sure they don't have a specific binary type (or a structure) being
passed on wire, but have a proper encoding/decoding method for it.
Infrastructure to warn people about such 'keys' is already present. That is
the end of my task for the github, and would leave completion to
corresponding maintainers. (Everyone please look at logs :-)


So, help is needed with 384 for now. Thanks to Poornima who did help with
some reviews and feedback on patch, if she finds it fine, and someone else
helps with review, the patch may get merged today.
