Indeed, someone in a separate channel explained that new sig-pm staffing is at the root of the resurgence of KEPs. Thanks justinsb, no relation to GCP's Justin Santa Barbara?
Other way around. Hi I'm the Kubernetes 1.14 release lead, I work for Google, and I'm the guy who said "bumpy road"
During the Kubernetes Contributor Summit at KubeCon Seattle last year, I made lots of noise about using KEPs, and about needing non-technical contributors to help those of us who are "organizationally challenged". In what I hope was a response, people showed up at SIG PM.
I think this conversation was really kicked back up in earnest as a result of Windows node support not landing in 1.13 due to a lack of clarity on what the bar was for release. There were other enhancements that could have had a smoother landings in this and previous releases, but this was definitely when we realized we needed to overhaul and document this part of the project.
