Over the holidays I realized there's something about the proposed Neutron policy API that I don't understand. Is the proposed API complementary to the core API, or is it intended to be an alternative? By complementary, I mean that a user can create a bunch of networks, subnets, and ports and then constrain how those things interoperate by writing policy. By an alternative, I mean that a user must choose either networks/subnets/ports or policy, but cannot choose both. I had always assumed we were talking about a complementary API but wanted to double-check.<br>

Thanks,<br>
