I think it will be really difficult to persuade the mainstream projects to adopt
a library if it is not part of Oslo. Developing a common library for quota
management outside the scope of the common library framework for OpenStack
does not seem to be encouraging the widespread use of delimiter.

What are the issues with being part of oslo ?

Is it that oslo may not want the library or are there constraints that it would impose 
on the development ?
