First off, I think anything regarding putting more effort into this is
great.  However, I *beg* the Neutron team not to wait until this week to
make significant progress.

To be clear, IMO, this is already painfully late.  It's one of the
largest items blocking deprecation of nova-network and moving forward
with Neutron.  This spring is just a couple weeks before icehouse-2.
Come i2, mid-cycle, we're going to have make a call on whether or not
nova-network deprecation seems likely.  If not, we really can't wait
around and I will probably propose un-freezing nova-network.

I'm all for promoting a culture of individuals and vendor neutrality.
However, I think this requirement is bizarre and unnecessary.  From a
practical standpoint, many people (myself included) get a ton of shirts
at conferences, so a lot of my clothes have tech company logos.  If you
actually get people to show up to an event dedicated to working on
testing, who cares what shirt they have on?

"I will issue you a white T-shirt"?!  Are you serious?

It's Winter in Canada... I'd be quite surprised if someone went without
shoes.

I love the idea, but this stuff is just a big turn-off.
