In planning for Pulp 3.0, developers are discussing what to do with the
plugin API for Pulp 3.0. FYI, for non-developers, the plugin API is used
to add support to Pulp for a content type (i.e. npm, maven, puppet, etc).

The meeting and its minutes are here [0]. The agenda covers checking in
on what we have today and some of the things we hope to change.


Here is a recap of the next steps which seemed to have good agreement:

- Remove the conduits with 3.0 and port usage to use the progress API  [1]

- Yes we will launch 3.0 with a plugin API which will be versioned
differently from platform

- The plugin API with 3.0 would be governed by semantic versioning but
versioned at 0.y which allows us flexibility to make backwards
incompatible changes until the plugin API reaches 1.0

- Document which APIs adhere to semantic versioning (done before 3.0)

- Have a redmine task to redefine the base classes of the plugin
interface (L#40)

- Schedule followup meeting to discuss ideas about what is and is not
included in the plugin API

Thanks to everyone who participated in this lively discussion. Comments
or ideas are always welcome.
