The way I see this situation is the same as asking Ekko to integrate with
cinder-backup because they perform backups that are "virtually identical"
to each other. They aren't actually related at all, other than perhaps an
API call that says 'backup'. Actual implementation and end results are
wildly different. So my question would be, how would you go about solving
that situation? I could absolutely get on board with sharing an API and
even scheduler, but Ekko and Freezer are two distinct projects solving
different issues with different infrastructure requirements and I am not
aware of anyway to share APIs between projects other than merging the
projects.
