Wouldn't a new notification message count as an API change?  Or are we saying 
that it's such a small API change that any discussion can happen in the blueprint?

(I'm trying to figure out how this relates to 
"http://docs.openstack.org/developer/nova/devref/kilo.blueprints.html" which 
says that any API change requires a spec.)

Also, if the notification messages are considered part of the API, should they 
be versioned?
