Thanks for your interest :)  This entire cycle has been spent on the spec.
It looks like it might be approved very soon (got the first +2 overnight),
which will then unblock a string of "create new oslo project" changes.

During the spec discussion, the API was changed (for the better).  Now it
looks like the discussion has settled down, I'm getting to work rewriting
it following the new API.  It took me about 2 weeks to write it the first
time around (almost all on testing framework), so I'd expect something of
similar magnitude this time.

I don't make predictions about timelines that rely on the OpenStack review
process, but if you forced me I'd _guess_ it will be ready for projects to
try out early in M.
