a general questionon this topic.
is there any update on supprot for deploying and upgrading to extracted
placnement with other deployment tools

the main ones beyond triplo that come to mind are 
kolla-ansible, juju, openstack-ansible, openstack helm

there are obviously others but before we remove the code in nova
i assume we will want to ensure that other tools beyond devstack, grenade
and tripleo can actuly deploy stien with extracted placemnt and idealy upgrade.

was this covered in the placement extration meeting.
