Open Stack

I agree with Prasad here.

There remains lots of unknown about Neutron incubator and its workflow at
this point, and the idea of Neutron feature branch is at best in embryonic
stage. It seems like among the three options, the most well-defined one is
indeed through stackforge.

When and if the Neutron incubator and/or feature branch process and policy
are better defined, we as a community can assess whether it make sense for
GBP to apply for one of those programs. In the meantime, let's get this
feature in the hands of the early adopters and iterate on our
implementation and further enhancements accordingly.
