I made the decision yesterday evening to not try to get the ml2 plugin
into grizzly. It needs at least a few more days of work before its ready
for serious review, and I think it would really benefit from a more
meaningful review after crunch time than it could possibly get this week.

I expect to submit WIP updates as I make progress, and hopefully have
this ready for official review soon after grizzly crunch time ends. I
would appreciate if all quantum core developers could at least make a
point of taking a look at it prior to the summit so we can make some
decisions about its role going forward.

For now, I'll be putting most of my time available for upstream work
into grizzly bug fixes, reviews, and documentation.
