I guess the question I have is who, then, can tell our<br>
operators/users what Neutron drivers are reasonably supported? It<br>
sounds like you're saying Neutron developers are not well-placed to<br>
determine that, which leaves us with these other options:<br>
<br>
A. Have the OpenStack Foundation as maintainers of the Marketplace<br>
decide which Neutron drivers are usable (they don't really staff<br>
for this purpose so would be throwing darts I think)<br>
<br>
B. Trust the driver authors to declare whether they're supported and<br>
what features they provide (maybe that works better than I<br>
expect?)<br>
<br>
C. Identify another party with a vested interest in validating<br>
driver support (a board of operators from different organizations<br>
maybe?)<br>
<br>
D. Provide links/aggregation of QA/CI and let the consumers attempt<br>
to divine supportability for themselves (seems a bit downstream<br>
hostile)<br>
<br>
Are any of those options preferable?<br>
