+cycle.

+My goals for the Pike cycle:
+ - Adopt cycle-with-intermediary release model
+ - Stable reference implementation for the protectables and protection
+   plugins
+ - Cooperate with Cinder for the work on Tiramisu and replication
+ - Integration with Freezer
+ - Document all pluggable interfaces (bank, protectable, protection)
+ - Cross-site protect and restore
+ - Advanced protection policy (retention)
+
+Thanks,
+Yuval
