Does it mean that RI-1 would be strictly removed from CNTT repository?
Why Yes why not to consider considering Airship as an implementation amongst others which tries to implement the CNTT requirements (RC is currently rather verified thanks to Functest SUT and Field trials).
I would agree to fully remove RI1 from CNTT but CNTT needs a reference implementation somewhere which passes RC successfully for the next steps (conformance of VNF/CNF).
By the way, it's becoming urgent to take CNTT results into account to find the best path (RI1 doesn't pass RC - we can't leverage on the existing resources allocated to Functest for the VNF conformance)
If FMO targets to improve the process, having an implementation fulfilling CNTT requirements is a very short term key issue
