Because we want people to be able upgrade their deployments, the problem runs deeper than just backporting some fixes to a particular branch for longer periods of time. Unfortunately the original poster cross-posted this thread to multiple mailing lists so the discussion has rapidly bifurcated, but I addressed this particular topic in my http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-dev/2015-November/078735.html reply. -- Jeremy Stanley _______________________________________________ OpenStack-operators mailing list OpenStack-operators@lists.openstack.org http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack-operators
