Proposal:

* Move thin-arbiter from tech-preview to supported.
  - https://github.com/gluster/glusterfs/issues/352
* Wireshark for RPC 4.0
  - https://github.com/gluster/glusterfs/issues/157
* Provide infra to classify features
  - https://github.com/gluster/glusterfs/issues/430
* Python 3 support:
  - https://github.com/gluster/glusterfs/issues/411

* DHT as Pass through:
  - https://github.com/gluster/glusterfs/issues/405


For TechPreview / Experimental : (Ie, code may come in late too)

* Reflink support:
  - https://github.com/gluster/glusterfs/issues/349
* locking using open (makes sense if users are exporting file as a disk
image)
  - https://github.com/gluster/glusterfs/issues/466
* Interrupt handler in fuse
 - https://github.com/gluster/glusterfs/issues/465

For now these are the things at the top of head. Will respond back with
more things soon.
