On further discussion in #openstack-tc, it appears some of the concern was due to the phrase "there should be no more patches submitted for stable/zed TripleO repos" and the "should" there was interpreted as implying that the prior contributors were doing this in order to disallow participation by future contributors who might want to do so. It seems like this was not actually the intent you were trying to convey, and was an unfortunate misreading. If you had said that further patches for that branch are not expected, or that you personally wouldn't be submitting patches for that branch, I doubt the reaction would have been so strong. -- Jeremy Stanley
