[openstack-dev] [nova] automatically evacuate instances on compute failure

I'm interested in automatically evacuating instances in the case of a 
failed compute node.  I found the following blueprint that covers 
exactly this case:

https://blueprints.launchpad.net/nova/+spec/evacuate-instance-automatically

However, the comments there seem to indicate that the code that 
orchestrates the evacuation shouldn't go into nova (referencing the 
Havana design summit).

Why wouldn't this type of behaviour belong in nova?  (Is there a summary 
of discussions at the summit?)  Is there a recommended place where this 
sort of thing should go?

Thanks,
Chris
