Of course it's a bug. IIRC Mehdi tried to fix it without much success.

Not oslo because it can be used by other projects than just OpenStack.
And it's a condition of success. As Mehdi said, Oslo has been deserted
in the recent cycles, so putting a lib there as very little chance of
seeing its community and maintenance help grow. Whereas trying to reach
the whole Python ecosystem is more likely to get traction.

As a maintainer of SQLAlchemy I'm surprised you even suggest that. Or do
you plan on doing oslo.sqlalchemy? ;)

I understand your concern and opinion. I think you, me and Mehdi don't
have the experience as contributors in OpenStack. I invite you to try
moving any major OpenStack project to something like oslo.service2 or
Cotyledon or to achieve any technical debt resolution in OpenStack to
have a view on hard it is to tackle. Then you'll see where we stand. :)

Especially when your job is not doing that, but e.g. working on
Telemetry. :)
