[Rdo-list] An idea to improve RDO CI coverage

Hi rdo-list, We did something that bothered me a lot - we shipped what we considered a stable GA for Liberty and we got some reports of packages that were outright broken in the release. This means some packages were not tested at all or else we would have found these issues. So I've went on to neglect my sleep, friends, wife and kids (okay, not really... okay, maybe a little bit) because I was obsessed about finding ways to improve our CI coverage in RDO to prevent this from happening. Testing everything in OpenStack is hard [1] and I'm convinced you can agree with me. So today I am launching the idea I've been working on in hope that it becomes useful - I called it WeIRDO [2] and it stands for "We [ Install | Integrate | Improve ] RDO". I've written a blog post [3] about the background, context and what WeIRDO is about. I would love to hear your thoughts about it - if you'd like to contribute that is even better ! Thanks !
