The broken link is from 881dbb7 (#2), with a sloppy copy from the KEP template. I'm fixing with a verbatim copy from the KEP template (and dropping template-only stuff from the user-workload-monitoring enhancement). This is a bit of a semantic change from what we had previously. The OpenShift vs. Kubernetes maturity levels are not clear to me. OpenShift does have docs on GA and later, and we do have docs on using Technology Preview features, but I have not turned up docs for what Technology preview means in terms of maturity/support.

But even if there is a Kubernetes / OpenShift maturity distinction, OpenShift is going to expose Kubernetes features before they go stable. And we use v1beta1 and whatnot for OpenShift configs. So I don't think we can drop the Kubernetes maturity references altogether, although we can add OpenShift maturity references in addition (once we find out what to reference).

we don't have alpha, beta, stable. We have dev preview, tech preview, and GA.

we don't have alpha, beta, stable...

Even if we don't add any, we still supply upstream Kubernetes features which are alpha/beta/stable.

We have dev preview, tech preview, and GA

Do we have docs for that? I looked (references in the topic comment), and found nothing on dev-preview and little on tech-preview.

There's another PR to document tech preview guidelines -- #104

It looks like this will need a rebase. Since the broken link has remained in the template, it has now been copied into 14 enhancements. Oops.

PR #104 was posted to document what tech preview means, so we'll need to revive that.

I find the alpha/beta/GA references helpful too, since we sometimes refer to the status of features upstream. I think for the purposes of resolving this PR, we can fix the busted link, point to upstream guidelines, and also note that there is an openshift dev preview / tech preview / GA distinction (but don't block on definining them in this PR).

Rebased onto master, kept some unlinked OpenShift levels in the template, and removed boilerplate copies from more enhancements with dd122b9 -> 7ceb598.

The broken link is from 881dbb7 (Add initial enhancement templates,
2019-08-23, openshift#2), with a sloppy copy from [1].  I'm fixing with a
verbatim copy from the KEP template (and dropping template-only stuff
from the user-workload-monitoring enhancement).  This is a bit of a
semantic change from what we had previously.  The OpenShift
vs. Kubernetes maturity levels are not clear to me.  OpenShift does
have docs on GA and later [2], and we do have docs on using Technology
Preview features [3], but I have not turned up docs for what
Technology preview means in terms of maturity/support.

But even if there is a Kubernetes / OpenShift maturity distinction,
OpenShift is going to expose Kubernetes features before they go
stable.  And we use v1beta1 and whatnot for OpenShift configs.  So I
don't think we can drop the Kubernetes maturity references altogether,
although we can add OpenShift maturity references in addition (once we
find out what to reference).

I also went through existing enhancements and removed useless copies
of the template boilerplate, to make it more clear that those
particular enhancements did not have anything to say about graduation
criteria.
