Open Stack

I've skimmed the rest of the thread and not seen something mentioned
that seems like it matters a lot. If I missed this suggestion buried
deep in the ensuing discussion, I apologize for that.

Since TaskFlow wants to be generally consumable and not only driven as
an OpenStack component, it should not be following global requirements.
It should actually expand its SQL Alchemy compatibility to all supported
versions of SQLAlchemy. Ideally it would have a gate for each major
version of SQL Alchemy that upstream supports.

Otherwise it will never even be able to work with any project that
doesn't share its SQL Alchemy version pin.

Excerpts from Joshua Harlow's message of 2014-01-03 08:37:17 -0800:

As more code moves to pypi reusable libraries (oslo.db when it arrives comes to mind) I think this will be hit more often. Let's come up with a good strategy to follow.
