This would show that it is not a bug, but an implementation of a feature, where the feature is "code that doesn't suck as much". I would recommend identifying these areas and submitting code *early* in the release cycle, where the impact of refactoring won't hold up a release. At the end of the cycle there is just too much pressure to get features in before the freeze that no one wants to make that harder by merging code that might conflict with those changes. - -- - -- Ed Leafe -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2 Comment: GPGTools - https://gpgtools.org Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://www.enigmail.net/ iQIcBAEBCgAGBQJW4ZwoAAoJEKMgtcocwZqL8MwQAJKugI/FOFWCYptWnQbGI3t/ 5bXnckt3w2FFU6jtdzRlQwDaKDUTGaEDyer0iuQi6OX1b/kpaDujymDFpP8kWNnn ujIS5wOkX8tF3fYM58AxRgv3DENolShovFUpFvaa2jPnAl/ibORTTWY2oS9EH0z1 XJyOZt3O17cob3NqFj2Ao1NHD42v/LoJ1NjS3l6//EphJMUix5lRJUI9n00I+mCn AFokz+JPRi2ePq6mGXf9MS4qCGGV+UZ7h1JxPmlIuJVZJ3/vypiWBwr+Rk6mWbHh HDwFIGx6mynQvzNC1wOcMpk+n62arDEtW1y2kTcGhxYybr7kLQ+UkX8EaPfumfIB QZ1IHktoJozNrywGbW7uqc74cFAMl+LPoe7BRAH7j/Lh7A6i5tJB5Vq6abQHSSXj gvZPlIg08RBUQi1uKDz4Y4Ze1lhJtHOIpO93mD/V6mQjERjDMz3Wp6k34WHrI6zI kH9OriJGCB3jauLrJiV/bQKBmWqFM2vEOEAcdbk1SdHVIrUMuE/wJNMahkzrNhsj Z3fS+QwidgV81I3Wgsswcvn6yBN3i61kq6ThJ3ePrI+gImwCUcZmxi6cur1TAmN7 qM6OPnzwj0x2Zb85y+NW6VO9/PgDccbiFZg0WGvBcqi9Vk44QIZZL2eA6HVKc5Ik qD4Am79IAkjONWC5Bqrh =5r5T -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- __________________________________________________________________________ OpenStack Development Mailing List (not for usage questions) Unsubscribe: [email protected]?subject:unsubscribe http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack-dev
