Or just quintupleo.  I doubt we're going to have a lot of problems with
name collisions. :-)

I'm not sure, but a few thoughts:

It requires hackery of the underlying cloud.  I'm wondering if that
disqualifies it from the openstack namespace.

It's only known to work with the instack-undercloud workflow.  In theory
that means it should be able to work with devtest, but at the moment we
haven't actually used the two together.  Which makes me wonder if it
should just go in the rdo-management tree, but on the other hand I know
there are people interested in it outside of RDO, so I'm not sure that's
a perfect fit either.

So given that I'm pretty undecided about where this belongs, maybe
stackforge would be a good choice until we decide where it's going?
