Hi George,

Thanks for all the effort in coordinating this release.

Generally, I prefer to wait until things clear the necessary gates to
get out of the staging-4.3 (or whatever staging tree) before rebasing
our XenClient patches on top of it, as it usually means it passed some
level of automated testing through osstest.

In this case, the staging-4.3 tree is where the RELEASE-4.3.0 tag
exists, but the stable-4.3 tag seems to be a handful of changesets
behind, despite being released a couple days ago.

Could you, or others comment on this discrepancy?
Is the fact that the stable-4.3 tree is lagging behind the staging-4.3
branch an oversight, or has it not passed some push gate?

Thanks again

Ben
