Yesterday was the non-priority spec approval deadline per the nova release schedule [1]. We have 80 approved blueprints for Newton so far [2]. In my opinion we're already way over-committed for the release, but we'll get done what we can. The upside to getting your spec approved in Newton is even if the code doesn't make this release, we've hashed out the spec so re-approval for Ocata should be easier. For those non-priority specs which were not approved already, the Ocata specs directory is already available [3]. If you plan on continuing to push your spec for the Ocata release, update the change and move the spec from the specs/newton/approved/ directory to the specs/ocata/approved directory. Note, however, that the nova-specs core team will not be actively reviewing specs for Ocata. Any specs that aren't moved in the next week or two will be subject to being abandoned. For specs that are related to priorities for Newton [4], those should be brought to the attention of the nova-specs core team [5] in IRC or via the nova meeting since we won't be spending review time in that repo for new things.
