Greetings, The maintainers of the PowerVM driver have proposed that it be removed from Nova. Their reasons are:
- it is no longer in line with IBM's strategic direction with OpenStack - they are not aware of anyone ever having used the driver (outside of the team that developed and maintained it) The second point is quite important. If anyone is using it that they do not know of, we need to find out. Normally we would approach something like this with a phased deprecation plan (mark it deprecated in Icehouse, remove it in J). There is a non-zero cost to keeping the code, so if we can remove it immediately, there is some benefit to Nova development. If you have an interest in this driver, please speak now. Thanks! -- Russell Bryant _______________________________________________ Mailing list: http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack Post to : openstack@lists.openstack.org Unsubscribe : http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack
