Quick Question:
>From what I understand, GBP is a high level declarative way of configuring
the network which ultimately gets mapped to basic Neutron API's via some
business logic. Why can't it be in a module of it own? In that way users
who want to use it can just install that and use it as an interface to
interact with Neutron while the rest continue with their lives as usual.
