Open Stack

There is always room for improvement I hope ;)

+openstack-dev (I think where u wanted this to go).

A question, are u thinking about organizing the 'metadata' associated with
resources?

If so it might be interesting to see if there could be a grand unification
around something like 'ResourceTracker' & 'Stats' that exposes 'metadata'
(different types) via an API that all the other classes could use? Is that
inline of what u are thinking?? Sort of like a resource + metadata
'database' that everyone uses (and accesses and updates via a single set
of APIs).

I might have misread your idea though.
