[dev] [DISCUSS] libcloud 2.1

[anthony shaw <an...@apache.org>]

It's been 2 months since the last release, we've had tons of PR's, lots of
bug fixes and also a new driver for Google Container Engine (exciting!)

We're slowly getting packages for RedHat, Centos, Fedora (rpm based)
updated to 2.0, some were as old as 0.20.0
https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2017-6d6c5cd543

Also, the Debian package management team have given me some feedback to
help get the 2.0 packages into debian and ubuntu.

So, it's time we released 2.1, there would be 1 big change, to disable LXML
by default. Although, from testing that I've done- it doesn't work properly
anyway- so we're just preventing it from crashing when used in a virtualenv
where lxml exists.

I'm in favor of 2.1 (pending any work Tomaz brought up for lxml).

Sorry for a late response.

I would be curious to know a bit more about the lxml issue (sorry if I
missed a Github issue or similar, feel free to point me to it).

I definitely used lxml in the past with some drivers, notably AWS because
it offered quite substantial performance and memory usage improvements when
working with large xml responses so I'm curious to know what / where is not
working.

I know there were some lxml test case failures in the past, but at some
point all of those were resolved and passing.

Besides that, I'm all for v.2.10 once we resolve the lxml issue.
