+1 for single repo, commits aren't as important for specs as unifying
discussion around them.

I think a spec being merged/unmerged is a good enough distinction for
the draft status of a spec and wouldn't be improved by having a
draft/final repo split.


[Rockyg] As someone who will soon be posting a spec or two for discussion, I tend to agree with Sean, Anne, Ryan about keeping the spec(s) in the openstack-specs repository.  I also think it may make it easier for us to attract non-developer commenters if they are in an easy to remember location.
