Exactly :) I wouldn't have explained it better. My main gripe with it is not really that it will result in a less tested and less stable release. If there is sufficient PTL/nova-core support for more features / less stability, I don't have the legitimacy to oppose that. My main gripe is that it's *unfair*: groups using self-discipline and deferring features for the greater good find themselves screwed by those who don't. And I have sufficient experience in open source communities to know that unfair communities die a slow, painful and certain death. -- Thierry Carrez (ttx) Release Manager, OpenStack _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~openstack Post to : openstack@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~openstack More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
