Well, that's a bit rude, so I'm not going to get in a swearing contest over whether Nova, Neutron and Cinder are more "important" than 800+ other projects. I picked a handful of projects that I'm most interested in and which also happened to have really clear, accessible and easy to understand information on what they have delivered in the past and are planning to deliver in the future. If I slighted your favorite projects I apologize.

So, are you saying the information shown in the examples I gave is not useful?

Or just that I've been lucky in the past that the projects I'm most interested in do a better than typical job of managing releases but the future is all downhill?

If you're saying it's not useful info and we're better off without it then I'll just have to disagree. If you're saying that it has been replaced with something better, please share the URLs.

I'm all for improvements, but saying "only a few people were doing something useful so we should throw it out and nobody do it" isn't a path to improvement. How about we discuss alternate (e.g. better/easier/whatever) ways of making the information available.
