i believe the tightly coupled perception between gnocchi+ceilometer is a 
misconception. ceilometer can be configured to output to various targets 
that are not gnocchi. based on dev questions in irc, this is a common 
workflow that people are actively leveraging. aodh and panko are 
definitely more bound to ceilometer as they don't have any other sources 
(currently).

i should re-iterate, this won't change our testing or integration. 
ceilometer has a gate that ensures compatibility with gnocchi as a 
target. this will remain and the auto-scaling 
aodh+ceilometer+gnocchi+heat use case will continue to be validated. not 
sure how we can quantify/qualify 'full integration' but we remain 
committed to ensuring gnocchi+ceilometer works.

the use case for gnocchi is generic. if you have to store a bunch of 
timestamp+value data, use gnocchi. the use case definitely fits 
openstack's requirement, but i believe you can see it isn't just limited 
to that.

i'm glad we have your opinion here, i had previously asked jd about 
effects on packaging and while i think Red Hat has a plan already, it'd 
be interesting to get your feedback on how this will affects other distros.

cheers,
