Yes, I do  want to have tenants be able to connect their openstack
networks to another public clouds network using some kind of API.

Since this is under consideration as part of a new region I haven't
implemented anything yet (current region is GRE but willing to cut
that off as 'legacy' epecially as we're trying to wind down the DC it
lives in).  So at this point all possibilites are on the table.

My main question is "is anyone actually doing this" with a follow up
of "if so how?"
