While I don't agree with Thomas's harsh tone in the bits of the
message I snipped (please Thomas, I'm sure everyone's trying their
best, there's no need to attack a fellow contributor personally over
technical issues), I did want to point out that the proposal makes
some sense. The Testing Cabal folk were heavily involved in
OpenStack and influential in shaping its quality assurance efforts;
so OpenStack relies much more heavily on these libraries than other
ecosystems of similar size, and OpenStack community members, present
and past, continue to collaborate upstream on their development.
