There are notes in the etherpad,

https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/kilo-nova-ffe-requests

but I think we wanted to get cyeoh and Ken'ichi's thoughts on the v2 
and/or v2.1 question about the change, i.e. should it be v2.1 only with 
microversions or if that is going to block it, is it fair to keep out 
the v2 change that's already in the patch?
