[Pulp-dev] Pulp3 Plugin API SemVer Strategy

[Brian Bouterse]

+1 to this idea. It's something we talked about before, but we never
actually decided on. This thread I think is just what we needed to do that.
Then a plugin like pulp_foo can depend on pulpcore indirectly through
pulpcore.plugin with pulp_foo -> pulpcore.plugin -> pulpcore.

The PyPI name of pulpcore-plugin sounds right. That will provide the Python
package that installs in: pulpcore.plugin yes?
