Keystone is almost finished replacing the term 'tenant' with 'project' (see recent thread <a href="https://www.mail-archive.com/openstack-dev@lists.openstack.org/msg09709.html" target="_blank">https://www.mail-archive.com/<u></u>openstack-dev@lists.openstack.<u></u>org/msg09709.html</a>) and we might want to think about how and when Neutron makes a similar transition. It's an unlikely priority in the near term given the focus on stability, but I wanted to broach the topic for discussion in case people think it might be worth attempting later in the cycle. I've filed a preliminary blueprint in any case: <a href="https://blueprints.launchpad.net/neutron/+spec/rename-tenant-to-project" target="_blank">https://blueprints.launchpad.<u></u>net/neutron/+spec/rename-<u></u>tenant-to-project</a><br>
