Open Stack

In case you haven't heard, there was this StarlingX thing announced at 
the last summit. I have gone through the enormous nova diff in their 
repo and the results are in a spreadsheet [1]. Given the enormous 
spreadsheet (see a pattern?), I have further refined that into a set of 
high-level charts [2].

I suspect there might be some negative reactions to even doing this type 
of analysis lest it might seem like promoting throwing a huge pile of 
code over the wall and expecting the OpenStack (or more specifically the 
nova) community to pick it up. That's not my intention at all, nor do I 
expect nova maintainers to be responsible for upstreaming any of this.

This is all educational to figure out what the major differences and 
overlaps are and what could be constructively upstreamed from the 
starlingx staging repo since it's not all NFV and Edge dragons in here, 
there are some legitimate bug fixes and good ideas. I'm sharing it 
because I want to feel like my time spent on this in the last week 
wasn't all for nothing.
