<br>
</div></div>+1. We need to review functional and performance test results before<br>
this release. I request maintainers to go beyond running *.t tests and<br>
run tests in a real cluster so that we catch obvious regressions<br>
before GA. Given that we do not plan to do (m)any minor releases in<br>
3.9, it would be ideal to not have regressions in 3.9.0. Else we will<br>
end up consuming cycles spinning up minor releases.<br>
<br>
I would also like us to review our documentation to ensure:<br>
<br>
- We have clear instructions on upgrading in release notes<br>
- Admin guide is up to date with feature inclusions in 3.9<br>
- 3.9 feature pages indicate actual status as of GA<br>
- Clear messaging for users about this release (i.e. not LTS, upgrade<br>
only for checking out new features etc.)<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
Vijay<br>
