We need processes (and preferably only a single process) that address the needs of our different audiences. Upstream developers are clearly one target audience. What other groups do we need to serve and what are their needs?
The current OVP program assumes a reference platform containing only released upstream versions & which passes all planned compliance tests. 
An approach could be a process based on the CI evolution - a stepwise qualification for additional testing until an appropriate level of confidence is reached. Artifacts for different audiences can be taken from different stages of this pipeline. i.e. the process would be to determine when we want to make artifacts available from which stage of the pipeline, and what does that imply for the allocation of testing resources to the different pipeline stages at a given time. 
Cloud native VNFs will need to extend CI to CD, some projects (e.g. Clover) are already working these aspects. We should start to think in this direction for the whole OPNFV process to include CD.
Any new resource requirements?
