[openstack-dev] [neutron][policy] Group-based Policy next steps

I agree. Also, as this does not preclude using the incubator when it is
ready, this is a good way to start iterating on implementation in parallel
with those issues being addressed by the community.

In my view, the issues raised around the incubator were significant enough
(around packaging, handling of updates needed for horizon/heat/celiometer,
handling of multiple feature branches, etc) that we we will probably need a
design session in paris before a consensus will emerge around a solution
for the incubator structure/usage. And if you are following the thread on
nova for 'Averting the Nova crisis ...', the final consensus might actually
BE to use separate stackforge project for plugins anyways, and in that case
we will have a head start ;-)

Regards,
Mandeep
