Glad this conversation is happening, I've started to think about this
as well. I think we're at a point were we could just let projects move
from were they are.

However, I'd like this to be a bit more organized. For instance, if we
dismiss oslo-incubator and let projects move forward on their own,
it'd be better to have all the `openstack/common/` packages renamed so
that it'll create less confusion to newcomers. At the very least, as
Morgan mentioned, these packages could be prefixed with an `_` and
become 'private' and 'owned' by the project.

We still need a 'deprecation' process for the code in the
oslo-incubator repository and we would still have to accept fixes for
previous releases.

Thoughts?
