Tacker worked with us on their usage so it's a known scenario.  I wasn't 
aware that Murano was using h-t, but if the implementation is similar to 
Tacker's it should be fine.

spzala knows more of the history than I do, but heat-translator, like 
tosca-parser, was originally a stand-alone client that has evolved into 
a library that can be used by other projects.  Both projects are now 
used as libraries by Tacker, and possibly others, in addition to having 
users of the command-line clients.

When we moved into the release model it was suggested that we use type 
"other", but I'm happy to change to whatever the appropriate release 
type is.  Both projects are fairly low volume at the moment, so we don't 
need a lot of releases.

Thanks
