[cgl_discussion] Revised "Top 10" projects list

[Fleischer, Julie N]

Here's a "top 10" projects list for the PoC meeting tomorrow.  The only change is that I added in PKI CA in the top tier since that's now a P1 again.

- Julie

Top Tier
========
Persistent Device Naming (a.k.a HDI) -> Neither project listed appears to implement full requirement.  One is being worked on, but isn't listed yet.

Software Remote Update -> Appears to have distro-specific requirements tied to it.  Unclear which option is available for distros that implements full requirement.

Soft Realtime Support Performance -> Need to understand how we will implement this (or if it already is implemented).

Asynchronous Events -> AEM is the only one designed to meet full requirement, but it is invasive.  Others need work to implement requirement.

PKI CA -> No distro input on this.  Forrest Zhao has done good gap analysis.  Still need to understand stability of these projects since they are at developer releases (work may need to be done to get to a stable release).

Bottom Tier
===========
POSIX Message Passing -> We do have implementations, but don't have distro input on which will be used, if either.

Multipath Access to Storage -> There are two projects, but both need work to implement requirement.

Removed
=======
Cluster Node Failure Detection -> Sounds like Linux-HA, at least, is okay for CGL 2.0.

Communication Service/Logical Addressing and Fault Handling ->  Sounds like Linux-HA, at least, is okay for CGL 2.0.

IPSec for IPV4/Support for IKE -> Current implementations implement requirement in kernel space.  User space may still need stability, but CGL is comfortable a solution will exist in the CGL 2.0 timeframe without needing CGL assistance.

IPMI 1.5 -> User library needs help getting stable, but is included by distros already.  Kernel pieces are stable for 2.5 and also exist for 2.4.

**These views are not necessarily those of my employer.**
