[pnfs] pNFS testing at connectathon

We have already moved our implementation forward to the minorversion1-08 
dot-x file.  Sorry, but it is doubtful that we can go back to the 
minorversion1-07 dot-x.

Given that we have already moved forward to -08, it would take some work 
to revert our implementation back to -07.  Unfortunately, the work to 
revert to -07 would just put us behind where we are right now and it is 
hard to justify that.  Therefore, we would like to take -08 based 
implementations to Connectathon.

So, what do you think?

Thanks,
Lisa
