Testing is, really, the biggest issue, IMO. I fully understand and appreciate not wanting to regress anyone's installations. I don't have readily accessible suitable hardware to test all of the OpenIPMI code -- I have reviewed the code changes themselves and it seems like a general improvement in support, etc. We have been on our own upstream release for a while, and now that Debian has done proper updates, we can at least start tracking that.
All that being said, I understand we are late in the cycle, and if the FFe is rejected, we will just get it done for 17.04 -- but I wanted to submit this before I forgot (again) and get a response from the release team.
