BTW there is a tracking etherpad updated by https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/StableBranch#Stable_branch_champions https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/stable-tracker linked in https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/StableBranch#Gate_Status and announced on this list http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-dev/2015-January/054444.html >From crossed items in "Recently closed" section you can see that branch champions have been busy. > You are missing the fact that a bunch of us (Matt Treinish, myself and > others) are frustrated by the fact that we end up fixing stable branches > whenever they break because we touch tempest, grenade and other projects > that require working stable branches.

This caused bug So that's a change in tooling, not stable branch itself. Idea when 15 months for Icehouse was discussed was that branchless Tempest would make it easier, but now it turns out that's making both tooling and stable branch unhappy. > What I expect to happen when issues like this arise is interested parties > work together to fix things and be proactive and make stable testing more > robust. Instead we currently have people who have no desire to work on > stable branches maintaining them. At least parts of stable team have been pro-active (see above etherpad) but I guess we have a communication issue here: has anyonetried to contact stable branch champions (juno=Adam, icehouse=Ihar) and what exactly do you expect stable team to do? AFAICT these are all changes in tooling where stable-maint is not core (devstack, tempest)... BTW Icehouse 2014.1.4 was planned[*] for Feb 19 with freeze starting on Feb 12, I'll delay it for now until we sort the current situation out.
