I believe that people should be considered innocent until proven otherwise. Is there a reason to believe there is some hidden reason behind this proposal ? It seems to me that this is uncalled for. Neutron allows vendors to speak to proprietary device APIs, it was designed to do so, AFAIK. It is also possibly to "entirely swap out all of the Neutron core"... the proponents of the group based policy didn't have to go through so much trouble if that was their intent. As far as i know most plugins talk to a proprietary API. I happen to disagree technically with a couple of choices made by this proposal; but the blueprint was approved. Which means that i lost the argument, or didn't raise it on time, or didn't argue convincingly... regardless of the reason, the time to argue about the goal has passed. The decision of the community was to approve the spec and that decision should be respected.
