while i hesitate to disagree with my colleague i strongly agree with this<br>
statement. regardless of the makeup of the contibutor base<br>
by being listed under the grovernace of the openstack foundation and being<br>
recognised as a offical openatck porject Tripleo is not a "RedHat Project"<br>
or thrid party project and is subject to same rules and procedures as<br>
any other offical openstack project.<br>

i tend to agree i think the stable/zed branch since it has been release should not be retired<br>
it should be left open so that anyone who deployed it can fix bug and maintaien it.<br>
this might require addiing new memeber to the core team or other changes but<br>
if there are people willing to put in the work we shoudl afford them the opertunity.<br>
its been a very long time since there was any kind fo diversity in the triplo comunity but<br>
there have been limisted contibutions form other like 99cloud although after train that sharpely<br>
decreased.<br>

there really has not been any significant multi vendor contibution since HP stopped workign on<br>
tripleo in kilo but that does not mean there are not comunity users of this may want<br>
to maintain it instead of move there production cloud to a diffent technology.<br>
or perhaps maintain it so that they can plan to move to a diffent deployment approch in a timely manner.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Yes, leaving the branches around also seems reasonable.
