What's the specific pain point here? I'm thinking of stuff like ceph-mgr and CephVolumeClient (...and calamari?) which are still python 2 and don't have any work scheduled to update them yet. If that's a blocker, that would be a reason. But I think it just means teuthology needs to install python2 and use it easily? Anyway, as Mark said we don't need to move everything. We can image the new machines and put them in a different pool and run all the suites through to see if there's trouble, or just do it on a couple testnodes or something. -Greg -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe ceph-devel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
