Hi, all:

    I spend some times to collect oslo.* versions of openstack
projects(which has related puppet module), please check it in following
table:

    https://github.com/openstack/puppet-oslo#module-description

    From the table, we can find most of oslo.* libraries are the same among
the openstack projects(except aodh, gnocchi).

    So from the table, we could use puppet-oslo to replace configuration of
oslo.* in related modules gradually.

    Thanks & Regards.
