I'd rather avoid this.  Other have done a great job explaining the runtime vs
deploy dependencies.

Actually Options 2 and 3 are functionally the same (from my POV).  We'd need a
specific job to update your *requirements.txt files.  I feel like a separate
repo is slightly neater but it has the most impact on the Octavia team.

So I'd suggest you go with one of 2 or 3 and we can work together to make the
tools work with you.

:(  I really hope this was a joke suggestion.  If it isn't then we have some
problems in our community / tools :(
