Isn't this what the backlog directory[0] is for?

Mm, thanks Jim.
That appears to have been used for four months in 2015 (mitaka-ish?)
New proposal: How do folks feel about using the `backlog` directory again? Presumably starting with scrubbing the four specs that are in it.
I have no hard feelings about the backlog directory.
We just need to make sure that we do some spring cleaning in that directory for time to time. There could be features that make sense today to put it to our backlog that will be invalidated by design decisions later.
Also when movig a spec from backlog to approved directory we need to make sure to re-validate the assumptions in the spec based on the actual state of nova.
so this is on the ptg agenda as topic but since it relevant to this thread im not really opposed to the ideas put forward here but can we kill the nova-specs repo and just move it to an in tree specs folder in the nova repo. nova-specs-core now contains nova-core https://review.openstack.org/#/admin/groups/302,members so there is no real reason to keep it as a seperate repo. all people who are directly members of nova-specs-core are also nova cores and i dont think we plan to allow non nova cores approve nova-specs in the future so keeping nova-spec seperate form the nova code add little in my view and this will mean if implementation diverge or only partaily implment a spec they can correct that in the nova patch so that the two are never out of sync. i am personally not a fan of updating spec after they have been appoved but since that is something we allow it makes sense to me to make it easier too do.
