[lustre-discuss] Lustre 2.8.0 released

[Bob Ball]

Thanks.

Are you going to replace the 2.8 rpm sets in your repos, or just leave 
them that way until 2.9?  Yeah, that is a provocative question.  It just 
seems to me that it is such a fundamental thing, that a new rpm set 
should be created for distribution.
