Hi Tim,

It is complementary (as an extension to the core API).

Over the holidays I realized there's something about the proposed Neutron
policy API that I don't understand.  Is the proposed API complementary to
the core API, or is it intended to be an alternative?  By complementary, I
mean that a user can create a bunch of networks, subnets, and ports and
then constrain how those things interoperate by writing policy.  By an
alternative, I mean that a user must choose either networks/subnets/ports
or policy, but cannot choose both.  I had always assumed we were talking
about a complementary API but wanted to double-check.

Thanks,
Tim
