Open Stack

If the project plugins were maintained by the OSC project still, maybe there would be incentive for the various other projects to join the OSC project, scaling things up?

Thanks,
Kevin

My biggest worry with splitting everything out into plugins with new
core teams, even with python-openstackclient-core as a superset, is that
those core teams will all start approving things that don't fit with the
overall guidelines of how OSC commands should be written. I've had to go
to the "Dean well" several times when reviewing osc-placement commands.

But the python-openstackclient-core team probably isn't going to scale
to fit the need of all of these gaps that need closing from the various
teams, either. So how does that get fixed? I've told Dean and Steve
before that if they want me to review / ack something compute-specific
in OSC that they can call on me, like a liaison. Maybe that's all we
need to start? Because I've definitely disagreed with compute CLI
changes in OSC that have a +2 from the core team because of a lack of
understanding from both the contributor and the reviewers about what the
compute API actually does, or how a microversion behaves. Or maybe we
just do some kind of subteam thing where OSC core doesn't look at a
change until the subteam has +1ed it. We have a similar concept in nova
with virt driver subteams.
