VMware in general has been tested with regression features. Only Nexus vSwitch 
is what has been broken. Code can be left in the same state and fix it for next 
release. 

If Sateesh checks in code, require a day at least to do sanity validation.  It 
would be ok to release note it for now as we do not have that kind of time now.

Great, that's fantastic news.

I would agree.  I think we need to pull this feature out.  There isn't an 
existing CloudStack release that has it (only CloudPlatform has it as a 
commercial product).

What's required to pull the feature out?  Do we want to note it in the release 
notes and leave the code as-is?
