I wasn't able to get further commitments this morning to validate
18.08.1. Some companies have indicated they won't be using 18.08.1 and
so aren't able to get resources for validation.

Would you be able to validate the rc for SPDK use cases?

Also, call to anyone else who would intend to use 18.08.1, to let me
know of any plans to validate the rc.

thanks,
Kevin.
