I'm just going to pile on.<br>
<br>
People keep asking us to focus on quality over landing features. It was<br>
the #1 request from EVERY operator at the recent Ops summit. This is one<br>
of that facets of doing that. It's hard, and it doesn't always feel good<br>
to all the parties involved - but it's important.<br>
<br>
Thank you, Mike, for sticking to your deadline. OpenStack will be better<br>
for it.<br>
