Cyborg, Ironic and Neutron are all already involved in interfacing with 
placement to get things done in nova. I assume the majority of people 
that have a perception that it's part of nova don't know enough about 
it, or don't realize that placement is a separate service type entry in 
the service catalog. When you're talking to placement, you're not 
talking to nova. The code is just in the nova repo and the core team is 
the nova core team. The code was written as separate as possible from 
the start so it could be extracted to its own repo (no RPC usage for 
example with the nova services). The core team issue is a community 
problem at this point, which is the main source of conflict on whether 
or not placement remains within the compute program, at least for some 
interim, or if it's directly extracted into it's own program in governance.
