Issue with docker image builds
- https://bugs.launchpad.net/starlingx/+bug/1891416 
       - Needs attention from the build team and Zhipeng
- What is the impact of stx.4.0?
       - Expect that this is not an immediate issue for stx.4.0 as the platformclients image was tagged prior to 4.0 final compile
       - This will be an issue in the future if code is ported to r/stx.4.0 that updates system/dcmanager CLIs.

stx.4.0
- Agreed to do a release retrospective with the community. Bill to send a heads up to the mailing list.
- Notes
       - Release was ~4wks later than initially planned
       - Long Poles
            - Openstack Rebase
            - Layered build transition
       - Do we increase the LAG between the stx release and the openstack release?
       - Do we skip openstack rebases? Likely would cause other problems
       - Do we release more frequently? 
            - This will cause an impact to the user community
       - Preliminary input related to openstack rebase: https://etherpad.opendev.org/p/stx-openstack-rebase
