Is there a reason this has not been proposed to the Nova project, or
have I missed that? I looked for a proposal and did not see one.

I see that there's support in Nova and python-novaclient for this
feature, but the actual proxy is not in the Nova tree. In situations
like this, where there's in-tree code to support an out of tree feature,
we typically deprecate and remove that code unless there's a plan to
move all of the components into the project. Is there a plan to move
this proxy into Nova?
