Hey Sam, I don't think the discussion died down. Questions were asked. I'm not sure we got answers.
At this point, I'm +1 to accept OpenWhisk. I'm not going to block OpenWhisk, I am going to work on the assumption that our current git requirements are met (apache is the canonical repository). If its not at the time of first release, that release will be voted as -1 from my POV.
