With XS 6.5 released, is anyone able to comment on: 1. Does the 4.5 branch need updating to support it? 2. If the changes are so minor, will we see support in 4.3.x or 4.4.x as well?
Do we consider this to be a feature or bug? If the code for the resource class stays exactly the same and the only thing blocking the use of XS 6.5 is the checks that CS does when adding a new host, would this not be considered as a bug? Technically the validation is broken as its intent is to determine whether or not the current resource class can handle the hypervisor. If the current resource class can in fact handle XS6.5 but the validation code says it can't, isn’t this is a bug?
