What about:

3) Cinder

Cinder is for block storage. Images are just a bunch of blocks, and all 
the store drivers do is take a chunked stream of input blocks and store 
them to disk/swift/s3/rbd/toaster and stream those blocks back out again.

So, perhaps the most appropriate place for this is in Cinder-land.
