Greeting folks, I hope we can get attention from stable-maint, release-managers and installers projects.
## Background Some projects tried hard to follow stable policy but it didn't finish well: https://review.openstack.org/#/c/507924/ This policy is too strict for projects like installers, although it's not a reason why the projects wouldn't be "stable". We decided to discuss again about the tag and how it works for installers. ## Proposal Proposal 1: create a new policy that fits for projects like installers. I kicked-off something here: https://review.openstack.org/#/c/511968/ (open for feedback). Content can be read here: http://docs-draft.openstack.org/68/511968/1/check/gate-project-team-guide-docs-ubuntu-xenial/1a5b40e//doc/build/html/stable-branches.html#support-phases Tag created here: https://review.openstack.org/#/c/511969/ (same, please review). The idea is really to not touch the current stable policy and create a new one, more "relax" that suits well for projects like installers. Proposal 2: change the current policy and be more relax for projects like installers. I haven't worked on this proposal while it was something I was considering doing first, because I realized it could bring confusion in which projects actually follow the real stable policy and the ones who have exceptions. That's why I thought having a dedicated tag would help to separate them. Proposal 3: no change anywhere, projects like installer can't claim stability etiquette (not my best option in my opinion). Anyway, feedback is welcome, I'm now listening. If you work on Kolla, TripleO, OpenStack-Ansible, PuppetOpenStack (or any project who has this need), please get involved in the review process.
