Discussion
==========

* Cheyenne pushed the "bug_fixes_avoid_cachio_panics" changes to the 1.8.x
  queue from the master branch. This is a bug fix on master that is proposed
  for stable. (Changes to avoid a code path containing assert() in in the cache
  manager)

* Cheyenne mentioned he has avoided rebasing the 1.8.x pending stack to avoid
  buildbot churn. The pending stack is still linear (though a couple of the
  commits have been merged out of order)

* Ben just did the last of the "out of order" changes for now. He had held
  the DFlushDCache removal until we figured out what we wanted to do about it,
  and that's in place now.
