I think you're right that this does change the dynamic in the community. One way to lower the barrier is to go ahead and define the plugin API very strongly, but then delegate control of drivers in-tree to active maintainers, rather than in external repositories. If a driver falls below the line in terms of maintenance, then it can be deprecated. And if a maintainer feels strongly that they cannot include the driver with Ironic for whatever reason, the plugin API being strongly defined will allow them to do so. __________________________________________________________________________ OpenStack Development Mailing List (not for usage questions) Unsubscribe: [email protected]?subject:unsubscribe http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack-dev
