We should communicate expectations clearly, make sure that promises are made, and then there is a leap of faith. But IMHO it is a very small leap as the TC can still control if it should be included in the next release, and the TC can also remove the project team if it never gets where it needs to be.
Boxiang Zhu mentioned the same in the governance patch also[2].
If they deny moving Skyline towards the OpenStack way of packing, testing, using Oslo, etc., we should consider whether to reject the OpenStack official project or modify our new project application criteria. But this is not the case, and they agree to improve all those things.
Now we have more clear direction from them in the governance patch also, so I feel this is good to go as an official project, and while they will be in OpenStack, we all can help them to improve the things in OpenStack way.
I agree. Expectations have been clearly communicated. It's time for us to give them a good chance to meet those. -- Thierry Carrez (ttx)
