Hi everyone, 6.12 is (allegedly) an LTS release, and as it's end of summer vacation time in the northern hemisphere, the most that I'm going to get done for this cycle is bug fixes and cleanups in preparation for metadata directories and realtime allocation groups. Christoph and I have finished reviewing this big batch of changes and I think they're ready to be merged. I'm resending the entire series so that the patches are recorded in the list archives, and will follow it with a pile of pull requests for actual merging. --D
