Excellent points. Let me make the following proposal:

1) Leave the code in nova-volume for now.
2) Document and test a clear migration path to cinder.
3) Take the working example upgrade to the operators list and ask them for opinions.
4) Decide based on their feedback whether it is acceptable to cut the nova-volume code out for folsom.
