Hi all,
at the moment we have several bot jobs that sync contents to affected
projects:

- - translations are copied from transifex;
- - requirements are copied from global requirements repo.

We have another source of common code - oslo-incubator, though we
still rely on people manually copying the new code from there to
affected projects. This results in old, buggy, and sometimes
completely different versions of the same code in all projects.

I wonder why don't we set another bot to sync code from incubator? In
that way, we would:
- - reduce work to do for developers [I hope everyone knows how boring
it is to fill in commit message with all commits synchronized and
create sync requests for > 10 projects at once];
- - make sure all projects use (almost) the same code;
- - ensure projects are notified in advance in case API changed in one
of the modules that resulted in failures in gate;
- - our LOC statistics will be a bit more fair ;) (currently, the one
who syncs a large piece of code from incubator to a project, gets all
the LOC credit at e.g. stackalytics.com).

The changes will still be gated, so any failures and incompatibilities
will be caught. I even don't expect most of sync requests to fail at
all, meaning it will be just a matter of two +2's from cores.

I know that Oslo team works hard to graduate lots of modules from
incubator to separate libraries with stable API. Still, I guess we'll
live with incubator at least another cycle or two.

What are your thoughts on that?
