I totally agree with you. Project team additions are judged on the new projects requirements. Tagging are just about describing them once they are in. I suspect most people advocating for a freeze are actually wanting extra rules to be added to the new project requirements (think: diversity). We said at the TC that we would refine those requirements as we go and learn... So slowly processing applications sounds like a better way to make fast iterative progress than freezing altogether. I /think/ Russell's point is that we'd end up adding not-yet-categorized stuff in the tent and that might create temporary confusion -- I tend to think that freezing project addition is actually more detrimental. -- Thierry Carrez (ttx) __________________________________________________________________________ OpenStack Development Mailing List (not for usage questions) Unsubscribe: openstack-dev-requ...@lists.openstack.org?subject:unsubscribe http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack-dev
