+1 for option #1. In addition to standalone usage, it feels like a 
better match for "the container way of doing things" in that we'll be 
able to easily mix and match APB versions when necessary. (E.g. having 
problems with bleeding edge Glance APB? Just use a slightly older one 
without being compelled to downgrade the other APBs.) A parallel could 
be drawn to how openstack/puppet-* repos are managed and IMO it's been 
working well that way.

Using APBs this way also seems more "out-of-the-box ready" for APBs that 
don't originate in TripleO project, should we ever want/need to use them 
(e.g. for non-OpenStack services).

Global changes will be harder as they'll require separate commits, and 
in general it's more repos (+ RPMs) to manage, but i hope the 
aforementioned benefits outweigh this.
