I move that:
The TC agrees to resolve the following specification issue:
Issue #106: block: make lifetime metrics feature independent of the eMMC standard
--------------------------------------
It had been pointed out (https://lore.kernel.org/virtualization/20210412094217.GA981912@infradead.org/, https://lore.kernel.org/virtualization/20210415155411.GA2090820@infradead.org/, https://lore.kernel.org/virtualization/20210415155751.GB2090820@infradead.org/) that using the eMMC standard to define lifetime metrics is problematic.

This can be addressed by explicitly defining the values in the virtio_blk_lifetime structure and their semantics without reference to a specific standard.

Proposed patch: https://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/virtio-dev/202105/msg00003.html

The TC accepts the following proposed changes to the specification:
--------------------------------------
https://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/virtio-dev/202105/msg00003.html
--------------------------------------

The TC agrees to include the above change(s) in specification version(s) "virtio-v1.2-cs01", and future versions of the
specification.

Reminder: A Voting Member must be active in a TC to maintain voting rights.  As
the Virtio TC has adopted a standing rule to conduct business only by
electronic ballot, without Meetings, a Voting Member who fails to cast a ballot
in two consecutive Work Product Ballots loses his or her voting rights at the
close of the second ballot missed.
