Cool, that sounds good to me.

Right now, we embed special fields in the serialized version of the
object, such as "nova_object.name" (like the VERSION_KEY stuff does
with "oslo.version"). Should we go ahead and use "oslo" in such things
as we're cooking this up in nova so that the move to oslo is easy?

Thanks!
