Although there were some discussions about these last week I am not sure we reached consensus on whether either of these (or even both of them) are the correct path forward - particularly to address the problem Brent raised w.r.t. to creation of networks without subnets - I believe this currently still works with nova-network? Regardless, I am wondering if either of the spec authors intend to propose these for a spec freeze exception? Thanks, Steve
