So this is pretty funny, since oslo-incubator was actually created
exactly 3 years ago today. Three years ago we clearly stated that common
code between OpenStack projects should ultimately become libraries and
no longer be copy-pasted. It took us 3 years to get to the point where
almost all the code has been graduated.

Some would say it's a long time, but considering this is a
cross-project, technical-debt-reduction effort that typically falls
short of resources in a tragedy of the commons, I prefer to see it as a
great achievement for us as a community.

Thanks to all the people that drove Oslo from where it was to where it
is today, including (but not limited to) Mark McLoughlin, Doug Hellmann
and Davanum Srinivas.
