Thanks for writing this up and for the interesting discussion that has come up
in this ML thread.
While I think I get the general idea of the motivation, I think the verbiage
doesn't quite do justice to your intent.
One area which I would like to highlight is the situation with the underlying
operating system on which the software is to run. What if that is proprietary
software? Consider support for (for example) running on Red Hat or the Windows
operating systems. That would not be something that could be easily abstracted
into a 'driver'.
Another is the case of proprietary software; consider support in Trove for (for
example) using the DB2 Express or the Vertica database. Clearly these are
things where some have an advantage when compared to others.
I therefore suggest the following amendment in
https://review.openstack.org/#/c/329448/.
* The project provides a level playing field for interested developers to
collaborate. Where proprietary software, hardware, or other resources
(including testing) are required, these should be reasonably accessible to
interested contributors.
I replied to that on the review :)
