I chatted with Tanya about this today. If we can get some engagement from coreos upstream users or katello to talk through some more complicated use cases, this would help address some of the concerns Tanya had. We would welcome this now (so that our estimates can become more informed) and will pursue these avenues during scoping & design once we have staffing and bandwidth to start on this. The estimates meet my needs for planning and prioritization against other roadmap/backlog items. I'd also be interesting in knowing if there is a different iterative approach we can take to try to provide some minimal functionality that would allow folks to start using Pulp 3 to manage OSTree plugin and drive requests for more concrete, complicated use cases.
