We have more blockers against 5.4 now marked. Would like to ask the list
and understand what we want to get done with by 5.4 and what the
timeline looks like.

The bug list:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/buglist.cgi?bug_id=1667103&bug_id_type=anddependson&format=tvp

1) https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1649054
Title: glustereventsd does not start on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS

@aravinda can we understand target dates here?

2) https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1671556
Title: glusterfs FUSE client crashing every few days with 'Failed to
dispatch handler'
Assignee: Nithya (working on Du and Milind)
@du/@milind can we get an update on this bug and how far away we are?

@amar, do we need 2 bugs here? Also, how far away is a fix?
