That sounds OK to me, but I would really just like to see gantt
running before we freeze nova-scheduler.

Joe's idea might work for this too, which would be something like:

1) Go through the exercise of making the current thing running using
the current repo (without keeping it in sync).  This includes devstack
integration.

2) Once we see it working and are ready for the nuclear freeze and
switch, re-generate the repo from nova master and apply everything
needed to make it work.
