Thanks, that's reassuring. I took your previous statements to indicate a much more hands-off approach than your reply suggests. This does seem at least compatible with the mix of in-tree and out-of-tree driver tracking and feature matrices being done or planned by the teams responsible for other services, so I have hopes we can ultimately come up with a converged model that's not too onerous to aggregate in the Driver Marketplace. -- Jeremy Stanley __________________________________________________________________________ OpenStack Development Mailing List (not for usage questions) Unsubscribe: openstack-dev-requ...@lists.openstack.org?subject:unsubscribe http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack-dev
