Why? If you don't already have one, can you not start with the
existing role and maybe improve it to fit all needs?  This is
partially why as tripleo we've started making independent roles so
that we can all benefit from them rather than keeping them within a
single project repo.  I don't think TripleO would have any issues with
adding new functionalities or tweaking things so long as it doesn't
break backwards compatibility.  This is what I was pushing to start
the collaboration around the OSA os_tempest role so I don't think
namespace collisions are a problem unless you plan on importing an
existing code base.
