I am really looking forward to seeing rtsadmin-v2 community edition available very soon in Fedora rawhide. We (RTS) are also very excited to expose the v2 shell to a larger audience using mainline >= .38 target v4 infrastructure. We believe that having an interactive target shell and python library available to developers and users is criticaly important to the success of the mainline target ecosystem as a whole. We are very proud to be able to work with the upstream community to achieve this important milestone with the v2 shell.
