Hi Team,

As we started fixing Coverity reported defects, we had prioritized
ONStor Coverity bugs over Coverity bugs in open source code. We would
like to know if we have to fix Coverity reported defects in open source.

2.  Agreed, we determined open source Coverity bugs were lower priority
than ONStor Coverity bugs.  Also, you could send email to dl-software to
request opinions.

Hi Brian,

This is just a gentle reminder that I am waiting for inputs for some of
the queries raised. The list below is in order of priority.

2.	Further, many Coverity defects are reported in open source code.
We are not working on these, as a decision was made while we were at
onsite to not to work on open source code.=20
