[ovirt-users] [ANN] oVirt 4.1.9 Release is now available

[Darrell Budic]

Couple questions about a fixed ‘bug' in the release notes for this:

Does https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1517237 mean that ovirt will no longer use libgfapi for any VMs, or is it just removing the check box from the storage GUI?

If it is removing the capacity, I have several questions:
- what happens to my cluster which has it enabled from CLI?
- what happens to my currently running VMs using it?
- why are you removing a major feature with a bug notice and no further information?
- it doesn’t seem to affect my HA vms, I’ve seen my 4.1.8 system properly restart systems using it (node/libvirtd crash that seems to have been related to spectre/meltdown firmwares)
- or does this only affect the hosted-engine VM?

If it doesn’t actually remove the capability, this is ignorable. But this is a much wanted feature for me, and I’ve been quite happy to finally get to use it. Not going to be pleased if it disappears without notice.
