Open Stack

Hi,

There's been a lot of lively discussion on GBP a few weeks back and we
wanted to drive forward the discussion on this a bit more. As you
might imagine, we're excited to move this forward so more people can
try it out.  Here are the options:

* Neutron feature branch: This presumably allows the GBP feature to be
developed independently, and will perhaps help in faster iterations.
There does seem to be a significant packaging issue [1] with this
approach that hasn’t been completely addressed.

* Neutron-incubator: This allows a path to graduate into Neutron, and
will be managed by the Neutron core team. That said, the proposal is
under discussion and there are still some open questions [2].

* Stackforge: This allows the GBP team to make rapid and iterative
progress, while still leveraging the OpenStack infra. It also provides
option of immediately exposing the existing implementation to early
adopters.

Each of the above options does not preclude moving to the other at a later time.

Which option do people think is more preferable?

(We could also discuss this in the weekly GBP IRC meeting on Thursday:

Thanks!
