Hi, Salvatore,

Thanks listing out the options.

Can you elaborate more on your 2nd option? Do you mean merge the patches and 
mark the API as ‘experimental’?

Subject: Re: [openstack-dev] [Neutron] Group Based Policy and the way forward

As Ronak said, this thread is starting to move in a lot of different 
directions, ranging from correctness of the blueprint approval process to 
nova/neutron integration, which are rather off topic.

In particular it seems things are being skewed towards a discussion around nova 
parity, whereas actually some people have just chimed in with their honest 
opinion that with all the stuff still needed to finally be able to make neutron 
"THE" openstack networking solution, the effort towards adding a new tenant 
facing API appears to have a lesser priority.

I just want to reassure everybody that the majority of the core team and a 
large part of the community have actually made this their first priority. For 
what is worth, some of them have even delayed plugin/driver specific 
development to this aim.

So I would invite to go back to the original subject of the discussion, that is 
to say decide as a community what would the best way forward for this effort.
I see so far the following options:
- merge the outstanding patches, assuming there are no further technical 
concerns, and include GBP in Juno.
- consider GBP an 'experimental' V3 tenant API (this was mentioned somewhere in 
this thread) and treat it accordingly
- delay to the next release
- move the development of the service plugin to stackforge as suggested to this 
thread.

More options are obviously welcome!

Regards,
Salvatore

Which kind of uncertainty are you referring to?

Given that the blueprint was approved long ago, and the code has been ready and 
under review following those specs... I think GBP is probably the patch with 
the least effort to be merged right now.

The efforts may be orthogonal, but the review team and bandwidth of said team 
is one and the same. Making nova-network the highest priority means pushing 
other blueprints back as needed.  And since there is still so much uncertainty 
around GPB this late in the cycle, IMHO it's a good candidate for getting 
deferred.
