While I agree with you that *most* of the scheduler effort is to 
spin-off the scheduler as a dedicated repository whose codename is 
Gantt, there are some notes to do :
  1. not all the efforts are related to the split, some are only 
reducing the tech debt within Nova (eg. 
bp/detach-service-from-computenode has very little impact on the 
scheduler itself, but rather on what is passed to the scheduler as 
resources) and may confuse people who could wonder why it is related to 
the split

2. We haven't yet agreed on a migration path for Gantt and what will 
become the existing nova-scheduler. 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

3. Based on my experience, we are loosing contributors or people 
interested in the scheduler area because they just don't know that Gantt 
is actually at the moment the Nova scheduler.


I seriously don't think that if we decide to leave the Gantt codename 
unused while we're working on Nova, it won't seriously impact our 
capacity to propose an alternative based on a separate repository, 
ideally as a cross-project service. It will just translate the reality, 
ie. that Gantt is at the moment more an idea than a project.

That includes, not exhaustively, the topic name for our IRC weekly meetings on Tuesdays, any ML thread related to the Nova scheduler or any discussed related to the scheduler happening on IRC.
