What is the policy about 8.2.x vs 8.3, and support for them? While
adding a new feature looks more like 8.3 material, does it mean you'll
need to support both 8.2 and 8.3? IMO, if you'd like to avoid it, one
can argue the xencontrol patch doesn't touch any kernel side interface,
so could be applied to 8.2 (8.2.2) without a risk for regression.

Do you think backporting vs2017 support would make sense too? Right now
staging-8.2 branch is based on vs2013, but it isn't possible to download
free version of it anymore...
