As someone who is not involved in the governance of nova, this seems like kind 
of an odd statement for an open-source project.

 From the outside, it seems like there is a fairly small pool of active 
placement developers.  And either the placement developers are willing to 
implement the capabilities desired by compute or else they're not.  And if 
they're not, I don't see how being under compute governance would resolve that 
since the only official hard leverage the compute governance has is refusing to 
review/merge placement patches (which wouldn't really help implement compute's 
desires anyways).
