very interesting LFX insights! 2 takeaways on PRs: * gigantic PRs (+500 LoC) review process is probably less effective. less time is spent on reviewing them, and they have less review comments than large (100-499 LoC) PRs this is sad, but also makes sense as people are reluctant to commit to such large and time consuming reviews. * the lifetime of our PRs looks ineffective: * it takes more time for the review to start than the actual review process - this seems like a communication problem between the contributors creating the PRs and the contributors doing the review * and it takes much much longer to merge them once the PR is approved - this is probably due to the test process (which is a known issue...)

People want fast EC -

EC work in upstream making progress -

Move the technical discussions to mailing list -

distro sync is important for a lot of operators due to tooling available-by-default, even if using Ceph upstream packages -

containers vs packages: Packages are stable enough -

tentacle when fast EC ready, and freeze "U" in January for an April release next year? -

Do we need/want to extend our major-version upgrade commitments for the shorter time frames? -

Ceph does not give release for an entire year -

Need to prepare a plan and see what resources and costs will be needed -

Better to go for stability rather than quickness
