Currently, each DefCore Guideline covers the most recent three releases of the OpenStack Software at the time of the Guideline's approval (which is generally 3-4 months after the release of a new version of the software). This timing means that there's a 3-4 month period during which products built on the most recent OpenStack release may not be able to apply for an OpenStack Powered(TM) license agreement because the version of OpenStack on which they are built isn't covered by a Board-approved Guideline. Whereas the OpenStack community and Foundation have an expressed interest in enabling users to adopt new software quickly, this patch closes the 3-4 month window by amending the 2016.01 Guideline (and future Guidelines) to allow it to cover the most recent version of the software starting on the day that the software is released. Note that because this change entails a modification to a Board- approved Guideline document, this change should not merge until after the Board of Directors has approved the change. The matter will be discussed during the 2016-04-24 Board meeting. Change-Id: I6db11762e48ff3297eb9f90c93fb68717b0f3d43
