Subject: [openstack-dev] [Neutron][QoS] Request to be considered for neutron-incubator<br>
<br>
Hi,<br>
<br>
The QoS API extension has lived in Gerrit/been in review for about a year. It's gone through revisions, summit design sessions, and for a little while, a subteam.<br>
<br>
I would like to request incubation in the upcoming incubator, so that the code will have a more permanent "home" where we can collaborate and improve.<br>
