I know this is not how this usually works, but I need to crowd source some info to be more effective.
I am slowly getting things rolling for the 4.9 release. My CI is chugging away and I have a queue of PRs to get tested, so I will be getting through them as quickly as I can. I have finally gotten to where I have a relatively steady stream of merges going in and I am working through final logistics on a whole bunch. I would like some help prioritizing PRs that we feel MUST get into 4.9. There are almost 200 PRs open right now so it is not realistic for me to expect to get them all into the 4.9 release simply due to the number of CI hours needed. If you know of PRs that you think are important to get in, please reply with a link to the Github PR so I can get them into my active list. One more thing... If you have any extra hardware available that is not currently being used and you are willing to help with the CI effort, please email me and I will get you setup so you can contribute to testing. I would like to try to get a distributed network of CI environments working to better test the ACS code base, so even if you only have the hardware free for 2 weeks, we can make use of it. I can help you get the hardware up and running ready for testing in a couple hours. Thanks you for the support... Will
