I saw the priorities review ( https://review.openstack.org/#/c/312217/ )
has been merged so wanted to point that out here. I know Nova team cares
about history section of the specs so the dates are more clear from the
links posted on the comment. To be more explicit: Glance v2 work (BP+code)
was initially proposed in Icehouse, the co-located mid-cycle was in Kilo
where we had a brief session on Glance v2 work (& thanks to all the Nova
members who have been giving their input). Also, the reason for my
comments/questions in the etherpad.
