The first thing that is required (according to the new guidelines) is
for there to be a technical reason we need to use go, and cannot use
python. [0]

This was the major point thrown at designate when we asked for
permission - if there is now a golang project for the sake of
a golang project, that would seem at odds with these (brand new)
requirements.

The only item in the linked etherpad that would fit that requirement
is the Go Common Lib, which is a requirement for any project who wants
to use go.

Do we want to allow projects innovate, or do we just want Golang in
OpenStack now? I honestly cannot follow what is going on in this area.
