Once it's in global requirements, any OpenStack project can include it
in their requirements. Modifying that file for only stackforge projects
is what I'm against.

If the solum team would like to write up a partial sync mechanism,
that's fine. It just needs to not be impacting the enforcement mechanism
we actually need for OpenStack projects.
