I have been working on turning Brent's plan for patch reduction into actionable work items. As part of this effort, I discussed with Brent, Bill and Derek ways we can improve our tracking. We agreed to push all tracking out into the open, and until a better tool becomes available, to use Etherpads. You can find the Etherpad for the Networking part of the Patch Reduction Plan here: https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/stx-openstack-patch-refactoring-neutron. Please review and update as needed. I have updated this with the latest status I have from Forrest. I do not have the latest status from the Networking team beyond that, so there may be additional updates needed. I don't know if we want to track this work within the Networking sub-project or within the distro.openstack sub-project. I'm setting up a global Etherpad [0] with links to the sub-project pads, so as long as we agree to use these pads I'm not sure it matters which sub-project owns the work. We will be able to track all of it across the sub-projects. We should decide, of course. Feedback graciously welcomed! Brucej [0] https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/stx-openstack-patch-refactoring
