Open Stack

Cinder provides a block storage abstraction to a vm. Manila provides a
filesystem abstraction. The two are very different, and complementary. I
see no reason why the nfs related cinder drivers should be removed based on
the existence or maturity of manila - manila is not going to suddenly start
providing block storage to a vm.
