I guess what I'm saying is that even with placement under nova governance, if 
the placement developers don't want to implement what the nova cores want them 
to implement there really isn't much that the nova cores can do to force them to 
implement it.

And if the placement developers/cores are on board with what nova wants, I don't 
see how it makes a difference if placement is a separate project, especially if 
all existing nova cores are also placement cores to start.

(Note that this is in the context of scratch-your-own-itch developers.  It would 
be very different if the PTL could order developers to work on something.)
