I'm of the opinion that the scheduler should use objects, for all the 
reasons that Nova uses objects, but that they should not be Nova 
objects.  Ultimately what the scheduler needs is a concept of capacity, 
allocations, and locality of resources.  But the way those are modeled 
doesn't need to be tied to how Nova does it, and once the scope expands 
to include Cinder it may quickly turn out to be limiting to hold onto 
Nova objects.

In one scheduler/gantt meeting, Gary Kotton offered to convert the scheduler to use Nova objects. In another I heard that with the creation of Gantt, the scheduler would avoid using any Nova specific features including Nova objects.
