By blessing one team what we're saying is all the good ideas pool for tackling this hard problem can only come from that one team.
This is a big part of this conversation that really confuses me. Who is that "one team"? I don't think it is that team that is being blessed, it is that project space. That project space ought, if possible, have a team made up of anyone who is interested. Within that umbrella both the competition and cooperation that everyone wants can happen. You're quite right Sean, there is a lot of gravity that comes from needing to support and slowly migrate the existing APIs. That takes up quite a lot of resources. It doesn't mean, however, that other resources can't work on substantial improvements in cooperation with the rest of the project. Gnocchi and the entire "V3" concept in ceilometer are a good example of this. Some folk are working on that and some folk are working on maintaining and improving the old stuff. Some participants in this thread seem to be saying "give some else a chance". Surely nobody needs to be given the chance, they just need to join the project and make some contributions? That is how this is supposed to work isn't it? -- Chris Dent tw:@anticdent freenode:cdent https://tank.peermore.com/tanks/cdent _______________________________________________ OpenStack-dev mailing list OpenStack-dev@lists.openstack.org http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack-dev
