Discussion
==========

Reviews in progress for 1.8.14pre. Some changes have been merged to the
stable branch, more to be reviewed and merged.

For 1.8.14pre there are 2 new commits (16250 and 16251) that are needed for the
gerrit 16179 (DARWIN: Set parent of volume root vnodes)

Cheyenne reports he is preparing changes for upcoming Linux 6.14 support. So
far, minor OpenAFS changes are required.

Ben Huntsman proposed change 16216 (revert: Deorbit AIX-specific QuickStartGuide bits)
Mike to check if any follow up commits are needed to address documentation
formatting issues (maybe related to <indexterm>), then merge the change to
bring back AIX instructions.
