Open Stack

So... as an op, without release notes, how am I supposed to figure out the proper upgrade procedure's when you often have to lockstep, in the right order, nova+neutron upgrades (or other project combinations)?

Thanks,
Kevin

I see no point of doing D. I already don't use tarballs, and those who
do could as well switch to generating them (how hard is it to run
"python setup.py sdist" or "git archive"?).

What counts is having a schedule date, where all distros are releasing a
point release, so we have a common reference point. If that is a fully
automated process, then great, less work for everyone, and it wont
change anything from what we had in the past (we can even collectively
decide for point release dates...).
