I don't think that'd be worth it because in this case as its the first
microversion we've already decided to merge
https://review.openstack.org/140313
first and you'll need to rebase to at least 2.3. I think the reason I
recommended 2.4 to you was that https://review.openstack.org/128940 was the
other patch identified as
a possible good candidate for being the first microversion but in the end
wasn't selected so it ended up with 2.3. From a quick look at 128940  I
think it might have spec approval
issues thoughso if your patch is ready when 140313 merges you might end up
with 2.3.

So I think its probably better to keep the number of changes small per
microversion. Though I have also suggested in the past that very minor
changes in the same such as formatting etc be fixed if we're making api
chnges in the same area anyway and clients will be forced to modify what
they do regardless. However bundling a lot of api changes in one
microversion will for CD we'd need them to be enabled all at once meaning
we'd either need to merge them into one patch or have an additional patch
which just enables say 2.2 once all the dependent patches are merged. This
increases the probability that one delayed patch will delay a bunch of
others whereas now whoever is ready the first will merge first..

It someone has experience from db migrations that they think would work
well, please let us know!

Regards,

Chris
