I'd like to have some links to tracking mechanisms eg. Github issues
and such for the topics that have been already mentioned below as well
as any Gluster specific changes that are coming up in versions. The
intent is to allow the maintainers to anticipate and plan for any
changes and discuss those.

Tests inheriting from GlusterBaseClass have been using im_func to make calls against the base class setUp method. This change allows the use of super() as well as im_func.

The problem was specific to a recent update of PyTest and scandir, and the original workaround was to install gcc or a previous version of pytest and scandir. The scandir maintainer fixed the issue upstream with scandir 1.9.0 (available in PyPI).
