[openstack-dev] [oslo] maintenance policy for code graduating from the incubator

So, as I mention in the branch, what about deployments that haven't transitioned to the library but would like to cherry pick this feature? 

"after it starts moving into a library" can leave a very big gap when the functionality isn't available to users.

Although never formalized, this is how I had expected we would handle
the graduation process. It is also how we have been responding to
patches and blueprints offerings improvements and feature requests for
oslo.messaging.
