A little bit of data to inform the decision. I threw together a quick n' dirty spreadsheet [1] to see what the user overlap is like.

16 of the 39 in #openstack-api are already in #openstack-sdks.

I'm actually not super opinionated on it. But I suppose I'd lean towards folding it in.

Would like to hear what others in the API WG think.
