Lustre 2.8 - December 4th 2015

Landings
A number of landings were made.

Testing
Testing is nearing completion on the 2.7.63 tag; a 2.7.64 tag will be created early next week

Blockers
The current blocker count is 4. The dynamic list of blockers is at 2.8 Blockers and resolved blockers is at 2.8 Resolved Blockers

If there are any issues not presently marked as blockers that you believe should be, please let [mailto:peter.a.jones@intel.com me] know.

Other
The release is in its stabilization period atm and the priority is on testing and bug-fixing. Code freeze is expected before the next update and this will mean that we would create a b2_8 branch and land only fixes for blockers and tests before the release
