We're in the process of grouping independent modules into modules that
actually make sense to avoid having 1 python package per module on
pypi.

Some of the graduation status is being tracked here[0] and here's[1] a
graph of the current dependencies.

As mentioned in my last email, I fully agree with this and we should
definitely establish what the process is. oslo.config was the first
package that graduated from the incubator. Other packages will come
out of there during Icehouse.

Cheers,
FF
