[Openstack-operators] [Openstack-sigs] [all] Naming the T release of OpenStack

Sorry, I'm opposed to this idea.

I admit I don't understand the political framework, nor have I read the
governing documents beyond [1], but that document makes it clear that
this is supposed to be a community-wide vote.  Is it really legal for
the TC (or whoever has merge rights on [2]) to merge a patch that gives
that same body the power to take the decision out of the hands of the
community? So it's really an oligarchy that gives its constituency the
illusion of democracy until something comes up that it feels like not
having a vote on? The fact that it's something relatively "unimportant"
(this time) is not a comfort.

Not that I think the TC would necessarily move forward with [2] in the
face of substantial opposition from non-TC "cores" or whatever.

I will vote enthusiastically for "Train". But a vote it should be.
