You've used this (correctly per your definition here) on various things
which it seems to me are very unlikely to make it for 4.5, i.e. things
which are really early prototypes etc, which made me pause every time I
ready it and have to think back to the definition.

I guess what I'm saying is that "fair" is not a good label for this
state, it implies that while the thing is a WIP it is still likely to
make it for 4.5.

I think you need a lower ranked WIP label for things which are in that
state of prototype/RFC but not likely to make 4.5. "wip" or "inprogress"
perhaps.

I've not heard from Junghyun since the initial reposting, not sure what
the prognosis is but given lack of support for SMP and some of the other
issues I'm more incline to suggest fair rather than OK. Jinghyun, do you
have any thoughts?

It's possible that the "save/restore/dead-migration" bit is "ok", it's
the live migration bits where the issues mostly remain iffy.

Also this is dependent on the migration v2 by Andrew et al.

Committed.

What is this? Neither of them sound like Ian J things. Stefano maintains
Qemu and I take care of SeaBIOS.

From the SeaBIOS side we are currently using the latest upstream.

IIRC Stefano has merged the version of qemu which he intends 4.5 to ship
with, but he should confirm...

Ian.
