Given the number of issues we've seen with stackforge libs in the gate,
I've changed my default stance on this point.

It's not clear from the code whether Vipin et al expect this library to be
useful for anyone not working with both OpenStack and VMware. Either way, I
anticipate having the library under the symmetric gating rules and managed
by the one of the OpenStack teams (oslo, nova, cinder?) and VMware
contributors should make life easier in the long run.

As far as the actual name goes, I'm not set on "oslo.vmware" it was just a
convenient name for the conversation.
