-Tests to be Added - Centos
---------------------------
-
-CSIT |release| added Centos functional test execution environment in FD.io
-VIRL testbeds.However due to the factors beyond CSIT project control execution
-of those tests within the LF FD.io test environment still need to complete.
-Once the results become available, they will be published as an addendum to
-the current version of CSIT |release| report.
