stx.4.0
- CentOS Upgrade  (update from Bruce based on F2F)
          - Getting close on 4.18 kernel
          - Will likely stop after that. Decided not to attempt to do user-space piecemeal. Dependencies are still missing and RH schedule in unknown.

- Ceph  (update from Bruce based on F2F)
          - Add containerized ceph to starlingx (this will be the same version as the platform ceph), but keep the platform ceph in there as well
          - Will work on a procedure to migrate the ceph data from the platform ceph to the containerized ceph
                    - This will require downtime during the upgrade
          - Remove the platform ceph in stx.5.0

- BlueStore (update from Bruce)
          - Bluestore is a new filesystem backend for ceph which is optimized for SSD access and provides a significant performance improvement
          - Decided to take this out of stx.4.0 to reduce risk

- Feature Planning
          - https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1a93wt0XO0_JvajnPzQwnqFkXfdDysKVnHpbrEc17_yg/edit#gid=0
