Is the code in Ironic identical to Nova? I know there were some changes 
(both already made as well as planned) for the Solum objects code that 
diverged from the Nova objects code -- but not necessarily enough that 
Oslo incubation would be a bad thing.

If we went the route of adding an oslo.objects to Oslo incubator, I just 
would want to know the extent to which the code has already diverged...
