Comment 4 for bug 1748515

Here's my concern. I'm happy to have the coding done to support this middleware. However, the new proposal/spec for a middleware healthcheck will have a different API from the existing one (if I understand it). So what I'd like to know is:

1. is there an easy/simple plan to deprecate the existing/old, and use the new one
2. when do we think, realistically, the new one will be available for use?

I think I could make a better informed decision if I had some idea of the answers for the above two.

So to be clear:
1. this doesn't need a spec
2. I question whether we want to hook in https://docs.openstack.org/oslo.middleware/latest/reference/healthcheck_plugins.html, in light of a new one that has more bells and whistles...
