Agreed. Granted these are all things I think we can fix in time (and we do have ideas or plans to address them), but it's taking a while to turn the boat around and I can't blame projects for not wanting to continue waiting it out. Another point JD brought up in his review response to similar questions I posed is that a lot of people see OpenStack projects (rightly or wrongly) as tightly intertwined and assume that to use any one service you need (at least some of) the others too. This was a major takeaway from the joint BoD/TC/UC meeting earlier this month, and the hope is that in the future we'll work collectively toward making it easier for services to stand on their own and serve independent use cases (as well as the use cases they serve in concert today). Some OpenStack services are already there and others are getting there, so it's a trend we're seeing start to solve itself anyway. -- Jeremy Stanley __________________________________________________________________________ OpenStack Development Mailing List (not for usage questions) Unsubscribe: [email protected]?subject:unsubscribe http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack-dev
