These changes are probably more significant than any new feature being discussed. As a community, are we expected to document these design changes and review these changes as well? I am still trying to figure out what Neutron's review standards are. On one hand, I am seeing code review comments that reject a patch for cosmetic changes (like a name change from what was in the reviewed blueprint), to having an attitude that something as core and central to neutron as refactoring and a major API update to v3 not needing a design document/review.</div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small">It is my opinion, and my recommendation, that the proposed changes be documented and reviewed by same standard that we have for other features.</div>

</div>It is possible there is a misconception here: refactoring the API core does<br>
not mean changing the APIs that are presented to the user. We are in the<br>
process of replacing a homegrown WSGI with Pecan to make the WSGI layer<br>
of Neutron cleaner and easier to create API extensions.<br>
