Subject: Re: [virtio] CORRECTION: 15-day Public Review for Virtual I/O Device (VIRTIO) Version 1.0 - ends January 26th


Hi Chet,
I noticed that the latest versions:
http://docs.oasis-open.org/virtio/virtio/v1.0/virtio-v1.0.html
http://docs.oasis-open.org/virtio/virtio/v1.0/virtio-v1.0.pdf
Have been replaced with the csprd05 version as well.

This seems to confuse people: they arrive
at the latest version link, see that it's a draft,
and assume that no final deliverable has been
created yet.

I think that virtio-1.0 should point at CS03,
don't you agree?
