Hi,

Well, Eventlet itself works. DNSPython itself works too. Just the 2
together (ie: resolving with eventlet greedns) doesn't work. This
doesn't make any of the packages completely broken and unuseable (so
it's not RC), this is just a bug that should be fixed.

FYI, since some fixes in Eventlet, OpenStack now works... Though the
Eventlet greendns API shall still be fixed.

Cheers,
