	3 stories created:
	- https://storyboard.openstack.org/#!/story/2006227: for python-smartpm, propose to use yum and now assigned to Don (may effect the update capability).
	- https://storyboard.openstack.org/#!/story/2006228: for rpm_python, propose to use version_utils and now assigned to Don.
	- https://storyboard.openstack.org/#!/story/2006158 created to track the remaining items. Austin is looking into requests-toolbelt. 

	Python3 version is not supported in CentOS 7.6. 
	Option#1: if we want to include Python3 runtime cut-over in stx.3, then we have to upgrade CentOS 8.0;
	Option#2: stay with CentOS 7.6, then we will NOT have Python3 runtime cut over in stx.3.0. => agreed on Option#2. 

    - kernel minor version upgrade to kernel-3.10.0-957.21.3 (Haitao/Shuai)
	LP#1836685 to address CVE-2019-11477, pending security team approval. 
	3 patches submitted and please review. upversion from 12.2 to 21.3. 
	Concern regarding to the timing and techncial risk associated with kernel upgrade. Saul: 8 patches in rpm but maybe there is more changes.
	AR: Cindy to send email to mailing list and consult Ken about the CVE. 
	AR: Saul to follow up and review the changes in 957.21.3 vs 957.12.2, release notes and the actual delta btw the two versions.
	Option#1: upgrade the kernel 21.3 in the master only;
	Option#2: only cherry pick the security patch to address CVE-11477. 
	AR: Shuai to provide test report for both option next week. we will make decision in mailing list based on the data from Saul and Shuai.
