Hi Gary, While I do understand the interest to get this functionality included, I really fail to see how it would comply with the Stable Branch Policy: https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/StableBranch#Stable_branch_policy Obviously the last say is on stable-maint-core, but normally new features are really no-no to stable branches.
My concerns are more on the metadata side of your changes. Even the refactoring is fairly clean it is major part of the metadata handler. It also changes the API (In the case of X-Metadata-Provider being present) which tends to be sacred on stable branches. The changes here does not actually fix any bug but just implements new functionality that missed kilo not even slightly but by months. Thus my -1 for merging these. - Erno From: Gary Kotton [mailto:gkot...@vmware.com] Sent: Wednesday, August 05, 2015 8:03 AM To: OpenStack List Subject: [openstack-dev] [Stable][Nova] VMware NSXv Support Hi, In the Kilo cycle a Neutron driver was added for supporting the Vmware NSXv plugin. This required patches in Nova to enable the plugin to work with Nova. These patches finally landed yesterday. I have back ported them to stable/kilo as the Neutron driver is unable to work without these in stable/kilo. The patches can be found at: 1. VNIC support - https://review.openstack.org/209372 2. Metadata support - https://review.openstack.org/209374 I hope that the stable team can take this into consideration. Thanks in advance Gary
