Hi Neil/guys
thanks for the update. In your presentation you talk about pre-requisites
for the V2 migration and one of them is "Make all devices on all instances
usable with V2". When will this happen for Juno, HiKey and X15?
I'm guessing that LMG would need few months on top of that milestone to
migrate our test jobs, re-establish dashboards/trends, setup pre-merge
testing, etc before step #1 (lava-dispatcher will *disable* V1 submissions
entirely) happens.
