Thanks Lajos, <br>
<br>
Main point here is if it is maintained by current maintainer (inspur team or other developers) whether neutron team will consider that<br>
to be in added in neutron stadium?<br>
<br>
If yes, then it will be extra work to move to x/ namespace now and then bring back to openstack/.<br>
If no, then moving to x/ namespace is good option or if maintainer want to be in openstack then we can discuss about<br>
a separate new project (but that needs more discussion on host much cost it adds).<br>
