Programs are a team of people on a specific mission. If the stores code
is maintained by a completely separate group (glance devs), then it
doesn't belong in the Block Storage program... unless the Cinder devs
intend to adopt it over the long run (and therefore the contributors of
the Block Storage program form a happy family rather than two separate
groups).

Depending on the exact nature of the "couple of other scenarios where
using this code is necessary", I think it would either belong in Glance
or in Oslo.
