As you know we have been driving forward on the stack forge project and it¹s our intention to continue to support it over time, plus reinvigorate the GCE APIs when that makes sense. So we¹re supportive of deprecating from Nova to focus on EC2 API in Nova. I also think it¹s good for these APIs to be able to iterate outside of the standard release cycle.
