I'm all for it. In my view, dependency freeze should be a consequence of feature freeze -- we should count any change that requires the addition of a new dependency as a feature. That said, the devil is in the details... There are bugs best fixed by adding a library dep, there are version bumps, there are Oslo libraries... I've added this topic for discussion at the Project/release meeting today (21:00 UTC) so that we can hash out the details. -- Thierry Carrez (ttx) _______________________________________________ OpenStack-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack-dev
