Folks

As Dmitry already said, we are open towards merging with upstream and would
like to make our code divergence no more than several percents of lines,
but there are historical reasons for this divergence with which we are not
happy either. So let's just point out that both sides look into the same
direction and we just need to figure out workflows and technical details on
how to make it comfortable both for Puppet OpenStack and Fuel developers,
taking into consideration that we all need to meet our deadlines and goals.
Let's close this dicussion with positive results that we both want to merge
the codebases as much possible and stop all the blame and judgement game
here. Let's do a good friendly meeting and come up with a list of action
items for both sides. I do not think that moving towards a quarell is in
any way productive.

Let's do IRC or at least voice-based meeting and figure out all the details.
