[openstack-dev] [kolla] New specs process - a dicussion

Something for consideration to make the specs process not to painful and 
one that I think (?) glance pioneered is to have a 'bigger spec' and a 
'smaller spec' template.

https://github.com/openstack/glance-specs/blob/master/specs/lite-specs.rst 
(smaller)

https://github.com/openstack/glance-specs/blob/master/specs/template.rst 
(bigger)

Just my 2 cents, don't bog down people to much with just big specs and 
nit picking and trying to develop the whole feature in the spec (cause 
that will off-put new people and senior people and ...).
