[openstack-dev] [infra][tripleo] initial discussion for a new periodic pipeline

As another data point, from Wednesday to Friday last week rh1 ran at 
full capacity pretty much round the clock.  There were experimental jobs 
that queued for at least 18 hours.

Granted, this is a symptom of a capacity problem we've exacerbated by 
adding the containers OVB job, but even without that the experimental 
jobs generally weren't getting run until after US working hours, at 
which point we're only a few hours from the regular periodic pipeline run.
