Pleased to see this discussion is underway to encourage the feedback loop and lower the barrier for improvement suggestions.<br>
<br>
To check I understand the proposal,<br>
<br>
- We stop raising wishlist bugs<br>
- We send an e-mail to the ops list with [RFE] for discussion and review of alternatives<br>
<br>
My only concerns are<br>
<br>
1. How to get from the [RFE] agreed stage to a blueprint with implementation proposal ?<br>
2. In the current blueprint process, I can +1 a spec to support the proposal. How can we identify the RFEs with the strongest community support ?<br>
3. How can the various Ops working groups (<a href="https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Governance/Foundation/UserCommittee" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Governance/Foundation/UserCommittee</a>) which could help with this process ?<br>
<br>
