Open Stack

Hi Takashi,

I'd like you to wait for dropping puppet-tacker for a while.

added
Unfortunately, we don't know anything about this support in current 
tacker team because no one didn't join the team yet. I'd like to confirm 
anyone in our users still want the module to be supported.

Thanks,
Yasufumi
