See attachment for the tentative results.

Mostly, we seem to agree on the tickets, we even have one with all fives
(yahtzee!). For those we don't, we seem to agree as to why  But
still there are quite a few to discuss:

One ticket that received a few similar comments is #2455 (bind10
parent should not exit if b10-auth exits with fatal). AFAIK, this has
always been intentional; for 'core' and 'needed' components, bind10
*should* stop when one of those components does (otherwise, we should
make them 'dispensable'. And while we should fix #2457, I think even
if we didn't, b10-auth should probably not exit on such a scenario.

There is one spike in the estimate for #2461 (clarify thread
consideration for DataSourceClient); most estimates are 2 or 3, but
one is 8. It looks like the ticket is 'just' some internal
documentation, but either I'm misinterpreting it, or Shane may be

Another big difference is #2468 (b10-stats-httpd_test.py not
stopping). I believe the source of confusion here is the existing
discussion in the ticket, and some people think this ticket may have
been solved already. (FWIW, I think the symptom has only been worked
around, the source cause has not been addresses, but of course I may
be wrong)

Regarding #2482 and #2485, these are both bindctl problems. Should we
just throw them on the pile of 'needs rewrite'? (the pile is growing
into a mountain...)

Also, #2484 (errant log4cplus output) probably needs context or at
least additional info; I don't think I've seen this output, what
version of log4cplus, and what Logger settings were used? (or do
either of those not matter?). And what is the proposed resolution (fix
the issue; catch it and convert to a log message if possible, etc.)
Estimates ranged from 2 to 8, with two abstentions.

And finally, #2487 (port host.cc to python) probably warrants a wholly
separate discussion; estimates range from 3 to 21 (!). But of course
that depends on what we want here. I'll send a separate message about
that.
