release - 7 has a lot of issues.
Better to test and then release.
the particular one announced has to be built and made available.
Ravi - bugs are raised on various components. One user encountered a crash
on power pc architecture but I was not reproducible on x86_64. Just wanted
to point out that there are folks using gluster on non-conventional archs.
Sunny - Use the order as per agenda.
