Guess the only advantage would be to minimize the chance of someone missing the security related messages in the noise of a heavy traffic mailing list. Even if there were a specialized list, I'd think you'd want to cross post security issues to all lists, depending on severity (and with

In addition to looking at blueprints in launchpad, you might want to (start by) view(ing) the following slide decks produced by some of the principal engineers behind quantum. They were helpful to me in getting my arms around the motivations behind quantum and openstack in general. As they say,

I'm I correct in believing that the Quantum L3 Abstractions and API Framework (https://blueprints.launchpad.net/quantum/+spec/quantum-l3-api) is the current plan of record for bringing L2toL3 functionality (e.g., VXLAN/NVGRE) into Quantum? Is anyone signed up to do this or has this blueprint

Backporting *would* duplicate work, by definition. This is nothing new in the industry, the need to innovate and move forward is always at odds with the need to support legacy deployments. Seems to me quantum is a bit of an inflection point in the life of this rather young platform, and

Hi, Is there a recommended procedure for upgrading nodes that were configured pre-Folsom 3 to use quantum V1/OVS that were deployed with devstack? I probably should have asked this question before trying, but I went ahead and tried. I had a multi-node setup that I was driving with Horizon that
