Certainly; with our focus on deploy and operations, Ironic is very
much something we'll care about forever :). OTOH, baremetal machine
provisioning is a distinct concern from OpenStack deployment and
operations. I don't know that there is a better place for Ironic; it's
certainly got significant tentacles into other areas than just Nova
[hence it being split out in the first place]. Nevertheless : clearly
Ironic is a Project, and Incubated. I think whether it is incorporated
into it's own Program, or TripleO, isn't a very interesting question.
ATC membership is decoupled from things now, so \o/.

On proposal 3, I wonder if it makes things too vague : if a Program
can have one or more integrated Projects, it sort of suggests that
perhaps Neutron be a Project of the Nova Program?
