In the current Nova core diversity situation this rule puts extra burden to the remaining non Red Hat cores and I guess it also makes any Red Hat driven feature development harder. In parallel to working on increasing the size of the core team I suggest to reconsider dropping this rule.

FWIW I’ve never liked that rule, because it assume that developers from a company are putting employer requirements over project requirements when acting in their capacity as a core reviewer - which is contrary to our general expectation of how a core reviewer behaves.

We are doing it exactly like that in Neutron and IMHO it works pretty good so
far :)
