Does every feature/patch need to go in. * Use unit tests more * Make them a requirement for any sizeable code. * Make them easier to write/use/run. * Add a make/meson target for generating coverage results from units tests. Any volunteers? * Hold more strictly to the release milestone dates. Testing of stable releases. * Luca Boccassi asked about testing of the stable release. * All major contributing companies should confirm test results on the stabl= e releases. * Luca will send an email to the list about it: http://dpdk.org/ml/archives/dev/2018-May/103249.html
