FWIW Anne, that's where the bulk of the problems are.  No matter how you
slice/layer/ring/fold us, devs have the same (non-)interest in docs and
infra and testing.  These all scale horizontally to accommodate whatever is
in the premium seats inside the circus tent but does it matter as much
which box they are in?

Oddly enough, that was once the case and the 'compute stack' was once all
part of Nova.  So thinking of Nova-and-its-spawn as a single unit for some
purposes reduces a good bit of complexity.

So with that in mind, there is now Nova++, Swift, Ironic, Heat all either
playing alone or in groups, then the general admission seats in the tent.
This seems like a simpler model to govern, and to provide baseline guidance
in the testing relationships.
