Commentary

The team was heads down and cranking away on 3.4.  Look for an RC shortly!

Ethan, Rob, and Josh C have done a ton of great work on NTFS improvements. A huge side benefit here was the addition of a filesystem abstraction layer which cleans up the code base for many operations and provides a solid framework to extend going forward.

Adrien, Josh P and Henrik were cranking on the elastic environment certificate improvements.  This is going to be a huge benefit, and we got to learn just how much fun the X.509 specs are!

Also, a big shout out to the swat team for all the hard work to improve our testing infrastructure - much appreciated!

Last, the next PR triage will be this Wed 9am Pacific time.  Look for a hangout link on #puppet-dev that morning.
