I'd like John and Mark to weigh in too. I think Jay's suggestion makes a lot of sense. I don't know if the Cinder folks want to take it on, however. I think its going to be easier in a process sense to just keep it in the Glance/Images program. Oslo doesn't seem like the right fit to me, just because this already has a clear owner, and as you said, it doesn't really need an unstable api cleanup phase (I know you were not proposing it start out in copy-around mode.) > > > Cheers, > FF > > -- > @flaper87 > Flavio Percoco > > _______________________________________________ > OpenStack-dev mailing list > OpenStack-dev@lists.openstack.org > http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack-dev > >
