Not saying what they did was not good; it's certainly better than keeping things closed, but to answer these two parts:

To be considered top-class, I would expect them to go the extra mile and contribute to upstream. As many other companies have done over the past and continue to do.

We have contributed quite a few parts of cinder upstream already and will continue to do so. I’m not sure where you got the idea that this is just a dump and we expect core devs to do all the work of upstreaming.

I'm very happy to hear that _carljm. I was just replying to my GP's "they took the 'dump it and see' approach" and my Parent's "What more could we expect from them to do?"

If you're going that mile, then my hat is off to you and the team, that's how it's supposed to be done! :)
