Hi Brian,

I probably should have posed my initial email as a request for review. The
reason I didn't is because both of these projects evolved/split from
existing projects that are already in the exception list (neutron-lbaas and
nova) and we've already been doing point releases for them so it feels like
it is just a formality to add them to the list.

Can we use this email thread as a formal discussion/review with the SRU
team?

Thanks,
Corey
