My point was not keep things in system-config, it was move them into 
openstackci namespace inside system-config to preserve the history. 
Then, once you are happy openstackci is working like you want, then move 
it into the external module.

project-config and system-config, we kept the history for each until 
they diverged.  Now, puppet-openstackci has 10 commits.
