# Keystone Team Update - Week of 7 May 2018 ## News
### Patrole in CI With all the work that has been happening around fixing policy, it would be good to have better policy validation in CI[1]. However, there are some concerns that using Patrole in a voting gate job will lock us in to unwanted behavior. We agreed to start setting up the framework but to keep the jobs nonvoting until 968696[2] is fully fixed.

We discussed an implementation proposal to "stretch" over existing clouds[3] with a combination of Galera syncing and orchestration around keystone-manage commands. A proof of concept already exists[4] and a spec will be forthcoming. We had also discussed[5] tying this into the default roles spec[6] by perhaps assigning static, non-UUID IDs to the new default roles in order to gain uniformity across distinct sites, but migrating existing clouds would be a challenge and we would need to come up with a solution for domain-specific roles.

We also need to prioritize reviews of the unified limits specs[8][9]. The remaining specs are likely to be deferred until next cycle.
