I should perhaps make clear that whenever I talk about 'other networking
APIs' I am not saying 'I think we should throw Neutron away' or 'we should
invent a shiny new API and compete with Neutron'.  I am saying that there's
value keeping the API of new features from intersecting the old when we add
things that are logically well separated from what we currently have.  As
it is, when you extend Neutron using current techniques, you have to touch
several elements of the existing API and you have no separation -
effectively you have to build outcroppings onto an API monolith.
