I will take look at the aws-s3 live test failures this weekend.  We also
have reports for failures against google-cloud-storage[JCLOUDS-805] and
rackspace-cloudfiles-us[JCLOUDS-800].  Bhathiya is looking into the
former; can someone from Rackspace investigate the latter?

We should not remove this api or its providers in 1.9.0 since its
replacement does not have feature parity, specifically multi-part upload
support[JCLOUDS-760].  However, if we could add providers for hpcloud
and softlayer this would allow many users to migrate.

None of these seem like release blockers; can we defer them to 2.0.0?

I would also like to move forward with a release; master has almost six
months worth of features since the last major release and three months
worth of bug fixes since the last minor release.  Can we identify any
blocking issues with fixVersion = 1.9.0 in JIRA:

https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JCLOUDS-791?jql=project%20%3D%20JCLOUDS%20AND%20resolution%20%3D%20Unresolved%20AND%20fixVersion%20%3D%201.9.0

I will add a few other potential blockers.
