Oslo libraries and docs are very much on the same cadence - as in the
true meaning of the word, "rhythm". The fact that, for process reasons,
oslo libraries get released a little before the server releases and, for
pragmatic reasons, docs get released a little after the server releases
changes little in my mind - everyone's working in the same cycle to
produce a single, integrated OpenStack product.
