Comment 29 for bug 691590

Hi Soren,
yeah I've seen your old youtube video on what is new in virtualization for Ubuntu since the name felt known :-).

The reason to not upload immediately is that I'd want to see if there are any other bad effects of attr being enabled that we might miss.
I'd want to see if e.g. migrations on disk images on shared storage run into trouble or something like that. To do so I'd run a bunch of regression tests in addition to what comes to my mind for this case in particular. Those tests need quite some time and allocation of systems - therefore they are most effective if coupled with a bunch of other big changes where the tests will cover "more new code".

In addition I'm away for quite some time in July, so if I break things with an upload now I'm not around to clean up my mess.

And while the bug feels bad, it was open so long attracting only so few people/reports that while it feels important for the two of us now it might overall be not too urgent to squeeze it in asap.

I hope that explains why I have postponed the change to when I get to merge a newer libvirt for groovy anyway.
