If it works, that would be an option... Note that Hyper-V support, if fixed, can still reappear as an externally-maintained plugin or branch... This is not a technology choice, this is about maintainability in the core project. Since random developers can't fix it, I don't think it belongs to core code, especially as history proved that nobody really maintains it and keeps it up to date with new features. I prefer to remove it rather than shipping it broken (or in an unknown state). -- 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
