As discussed at our nova meetings, reorganize the juno specs into three directories: - proposed: things proposed which weren't approved - approved: things we approved but didn't implement - implemented: things approved and implemented The first I suspect is the most controversial. I've done this because I worry about the case where a future developer wants to pick up something dropped by a previous developer, but has trouble finding previous proposed specifications on the topic. Note that the actual proposed specs for Juno are adding in a later commit. Change-Id: Idcf55ca37a83d7098dcb7c2971240c4e8fd23dc8
