Hi everyone, During this cycle we experiment with using -specs repositories. Those proved very popular, and busy projects have now built a healthy backlog of -specs reviews.
However, there will come a time when reviewing specs will become a distraction. At some point in the cycle, we'll know that the code corresponding to the spec under review has no chance to get implemented and reviewed in time for landing before feature freeze in the current development cycle. Some projects therefore suggested to use a clear deadline in the release cycle for spec proposal and acceptance. Those optional steps in the release cycle have been documented in the wiki at: https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/SpecProposalDeadline https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/SpecApprovalDeadline Specs-using projects may elect to use them in the Juno cycle. If there is global consensus around them in the future, they may become an integral part of our cycle (like FeatureFreeze is). At this point, afaik only Neutron announced[1] dates for it: Neutron SPD: July 10 Neutron SAD: July 20 If multiple projects converge on the same dates, I'll probably add those on the release schedule for clearer communication.
