o/ hello !

replying to bump the thread - this was sent ~1 month ago now and there
hasn't been any comment thus far.

ping @Herve please do you know the answer to that question in the last
paragraph above about 'declaring unmaintained' ? please thank you ;)

As discussed at the last tripleo bi-weekly we can consider moving forward
with this so I think it's prudent to give folks more chance to comment if
they object for _reason_

thanks, marios
