Josh Harlow (original author of taskflow and related libraries)
and I have been discussing the option of moving taskflow out of
the openstack umbrella recently. This move would likely also
include the futurist and automaton libraries that are primarily
used by taskflow. The idea would be to just host them on github
and use the regular Github features for Issues, PRs, wiki, etc,
in the hopes that this would spur more development. Taskflow
hasn't had any substantial contributions in several years and it
doesn't really seem that the current openstack devs have a
vested interest in moving it forward. I would like to move it
forward, but I don't have an interest in being bound by the
openstack workflow (this is why the project stagnated as core
reviewers were pulled on to other projects and couldn't keep up
with the review backlog, so contributions ground to a halt).

</div>
<div>I guess I'm putting it forward to the larger community.
Does anyone have any objections to us doing this? Are there
any non-obvious technicalities that might make such a
transition difficult? Who would need to be made aware so they
could adjust their own workflows?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Or would it be preferable to just fork and rename the
project so openstack can continue to use the current taskflow
version without worry of us breaking features?</div>
