I admit I use the term gantt as a very expansive, this is the effort to clean up the current scheduler and create a separate scheduler as a service project.  There should be no reason that this effort should turn off people, if you're interested in the scheduler then very quickly you will get pointed to gantt.

Erm, I discussed that point during the weekly meeting and I pledged for 
people giving their opinion in this email.

http://eavesdrop.openstack.org/meetings/gantt/2015/gantt.2015-03-31-15.00.html

As a meeting is by definition a synchronous thing, should we maybe try 
to async that decision using Gerrit ? I could pop up a resolution in 
Gerrit so that people could -1 or +1 it.

The end goal will be the Gantt scheduler and I'd prefer not to change the discussion.

I seriously doubt that the Nova community would accept to keep the existing nova-scheduler as a feature duplicate to the future Gantt codebase, but that has been not yet discussed and things can be less clear

It will just translate the reality, ie. that Gantt is at the moment more an idea than a project.
