So if this is going to be a big thing for everyone, please update the ML subject tag (and help me understand how it applies to more than just nova). And if it's just for nova (err... "compute"), then naming it something that doesn't imply every project will need to use it could help prevent future misunderstanding.

The goal is to have a standard way of representing *qualitative* aspects of resources. So while we are not actively trying to make this a placement engine for all OpenStack services yet, the goal is to not be Nova-specific, so that once we have this up and running, we can offer it as a general placement service for any other project that has such needs.


Sounds great! How can I get involved with the new general purpose placement scheduler engine and share Swift's requirements?
