Understandable--and I'm certainly no fan of bureaucracy and
politicking--just pointing out that in the carrots-and-sticks bin we
have trademarks as a potential carrot to encourage people running
OpenStack commercially to further the goals of our community. If
there is broad community support for the idea that standard
OpenStack APIs should not be arbitrarily extended downstream because
it hurts interoperability, then this might be one way to improve the
situation. If there are other means to achieve this then they too
should be considered, obviously.
