I have no objections as long as we're not taking features into the 3.3.1
release and we're not changing the package set. We had an issue with
one of the 3.2.x updates where we pulled a change in vdsm that removed
the vdsm-gluster package. As long as we're making every effort to avoid
features and avoid packaging changes, then I'm happy.
i think there is a feature or two, but i think the version would still
be way better off with this, considering the ratio of patches that went
into it.
I do expect us to do a bit more testing on it than if we didn't rebase,
but i think its worth it.
(as a side note, i also think it will be worth while to release
hosted-engine in async to beta testing / release).
