How much time do you think you'd need to complete the Server Role API?

With my Workstation WG hat on, I'd very much like to avoid pushing back
the schedule. We already skipped one whole release; if we slip F21 it's
going to negatively impact how users perceive the Workstation, and make
it harder for Workstation developers to work on the code upstream.

At the very least, please don't do a quick decision on today's IRC
meeting and allow some time to discuss this with other WGs.

An alternative to slipping would also be to skip Server this release
cycle if it's not ready. Could try again in 6 months.
