Yes, in theory all of the plugins should be removable from the core neutron repo. So then it would only need to be responsible for the APIs, db models, etc. However, IIRC there are no plans to move any reference plugins from the tree. On Thu, Aug 28, 2014 at 11:20 AM, Jeremy Stanley

Flag is only for admin use, tenant can't see it, and the default policy for router is setup by config file. It's still a public API that will have to follow a deprecation cycle. If a new API was going to be introduced for admins to control the distributed nature of routers, it would have been

I agree that components isolated to one service or something along those lines where there is a clear plugin point in Neutron, it might make sense to separate them permanently. However, at that point why even bother with the Neutron incubator when a new project can be started? The feature branch

Quoting Stefano from a different thread [0]: The rationale for the separate repository is that Neutron's code needs a lot of love for the *existing* codebase, before new features can be added (and before core team can accept more responsibilities for it). But progress is unstoppable: new

From what I understand, the intended projects for the incubator can't operate without neutron because they are just extensions/plugins/drivers. For example, if the DVR modifications to the reference reference L3 plugin weren't already being developed in the tree, DVR could have been developed in

Incubator doesn't mean being kicked out of tree, it just mean that the API and resource model needs to be baked for fast iteration, and can't be put in tree temporarily. As kyle has said, incubator is not talking about moving 3rd drivers out of tree, which is in another thread. For DVR, as it has
