I already put a session on the design summit schedule to discuss the<br>
future of drivers. I'm open to alternative approaches for driver<br>
maintenance, including moving some of them (such as the vmware driver)<br>
into another tree where the developers focused on it can merge their<br>
code without waiting for nova-core review.<br>
