Hi All,

In the past several weeks, QA has done some testing on IAM feature and foun=
d several backward-compatibility issues. Even though Prachi and I have trie=
d our best to fix bugs to maintain backward compatibility, we realized that=
 in order to support true IAM model documented in our FS https://cwiki.apac=
he.org/confluence/display/CLOUDSTACK/CloudStack+Identity+and+Access+Managem=
ent+%28IAM%29+Plugin, we will have to make several API changes that will re=
quire us to increment CloudStack major version.
Therefore we think that IAM feature is not ready for ACS 4.4 release, and w=
e would like to propose to disable it in 4.4 branch and re-enable it later =
when community decides to go for 5.x.

Thanks
-min
