I don't understand how multiple independent code bases with a lot of overlapping code/logic is a win for developers. The more we can move to single shared code the easier code comprehension and maintenance becomes. From a software engineering perspective the amount of duplicated code/logic in OpenStack is worrisome. Iterating towards common code seems like a huge developer win as well as greatly enhancing robustness in the process. -- John _______________________________________________ OpenStack-dev mailing list OpenStack-dev@lists.openstack.org http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack-dev
