I tend to agree with James that we should do this early and take the
bullet on renaming now. The process for adding new Neutron specs is
outlined here [1], and this will be updated once the repository is
renamed. In addition, I'm working on adding/updating some Neutron wiki
pages around the Neutron development process, and the specs repo will
be highlighted there once that's done. It would be good to have the
renaming done before then.

Thanks,
Kyle
