Ensure the new approach is fully backwards compatible when there is a mix of MAAS versions in use. - Fix bugs related to initial fabric creation upon registration: * [Ensure that disabled interfaces do not create new fabrics](https://git.launchpad.net/maas/commit/?id=2365edd4eaae920c847740639d6b76970b1e52f0) * [Fix registration of disabled interfaces](https://git.launchpad.net/maas/commit/?id=51b429cb506c209a66dca5cbfbe5e6a6ccb918e7) * [Fix fabric creation for rack DHCP IP addresses](https://git.launchpad.net/maas/commit/?id=2319590c74764ff4c4f933506499ee961d5ac9eb) * **Started Hardware Testing Phase 2** + - UX team has completed the initial wireframes and gathered feedback. - Started changes to collect and gather better test results. * **Started Switch modeling** + - Started changes to support switch and switch port modeling. * **Bug fixes** + LP: #1703403 – regiond workers can use too many postgres connections + LP: #1651165 – Unable to change disk name using maas gui + LP: #1702690 – [2.2] Commissioning a machine prefers minimum kernel over commissioning global + LP: #1700802 – [2.x] maas cli allocate interfaces=
