Happy to join in on this, it does seem weird there is no time / space
for such things at PTG.

We actually had a rough sketch of a plan last year here which would go a
slightly different direction, and get that all up into the service
catalog. That also ensures consistent schema enforcement, as it would
all be through keystone.

Definitely need keystone folks in the room to be able to make forward
progress here I think, because part of the tension in the past has been
understanding domain boundaries, and it would be a shame to do a ton of
work in all the projects that could be easily done in one project, just
because of communication gaps.
