 Add an ability for experimenters to modify their allocated resources at an aggregate without deleting (and possibly losing) existing resource allocations.
 
+This change was briefly discussed at GEC13, and is a topic for ongoing discussion.
+
 == Motivation ==
 A common complaint among experimenters about the current AM API is that there is no way to add or remove resources from a slice at an aggregate, without completely deleting the slice at that aggregate and recreating it, possibly losing resources to another experimenter and certainly losing state. This proposal aims to address that, by introducing a method to update the slice at an aggregate.

 A slice may have multiple slivers at a single AM. Experimenters can operate on slivers independently, if the AM supports it. AMs define slivers as groups of resources, and give them locally unique sliver_urns for identifying that group of resources.
 
+This change was briefly discussed at GEC13, and remains open for discussion. Concerns include whether aggregates can support individually operating on slivers, and whether we should make this change without that functionality.

 = Change Set E: Tickets =
 AM APIv3 adds support for negotiated reservations or two-phase commit, by '''add'''ing methods that allow an experimenter to reserve resources for a slice without committing to using them, or forcing the AM to incur the cost of instantiating them.

+This change is actively under discussion.

 The proposal here elicited concerns (the method !ActOnSlivers is an ioctl, and the states mix allocation and operational states).
