I wanted to summarise the voting on this proposal so far

v3:
https://lists.xenproject.org/archives/html/xen-devel/2016-08/threads.html#01667

In favour
Jan Beulich
Tim Deegan (agreed on the basis of a fix which was addressed in v5)
Wei Liu

v4:
Not posted. Only fixed formatting issues

v5:
https://lists.xenproject.org/archives/html/xen-devel/2016-11/threads.html#01917

In favour
Konrad R Wilk
Ian Jackson (although was not very explicit)
Stefano Stabellini (see 
https://lists.xenproject.org/archives/html/xen-devel/2017-02/msg01845.html) 

It does appear to me that the proposal should pass given the votes. I will 
publish the new version
on Friday or early next week, if I don't get any other opinions. I will also 
prepare a blog post
with Zibby's help for some point afterwards.

Best Regards
Lars
