Icehouse-rc2.
- markmcclain is the point of contact for any Icehouse blocking issues
We are in stability phase of the cycle.
- Only critical bug fixes will be considered.
- We've held off on fully opening the tree for Juno. The temporary -2s will be removed this week as long as new blueprint process.

Bugs

Stable branch is still having stability problems in the test runs.
Critical Open Bugs
- grenade-dsvm-neutron Failure in upgrade-swift - jlibosva

This bugs are in nova that are related to neutron that would be great if we could get neutron reviews on:

- [1] Remove unneeded call to fetch network info on shutdown - arosen
- [2] remove unneeded call to network_api on detach_interface - arosen
- [3] remove unneeded call to network_api on rebuild_instance - arosen
- [4] Optimize validate_networks to query neutron only when needed - arosen
- [5] deallocate_for_instance should delete all neutron ports on error - arosen
- [6] Fix port_security_enabled neutron extension - arosen
- [7] Fix pre-created ports in neutron from being deleted by nova - arosen
