[lustre-discuss] Lustre 2.8.0 released

[Drokin, Oleg]

We are definitely not planning to replace the existing RPMs to avoid any confusion.

We are debating other ways of relieving the situation without waiting for 2.9 and we'll update the list once the fix is really ready.
Right now it has not even landed to master as you can see.
