	I suppose that that might possibly be desireable, but it's definitely outside the scope of this blueprint.

> b)  Saw your note "I am looking for a way to define these attributes in a single place that is importable from both the scheduler and compute services, so that the compute node can read in these attributes and post their values to its ZoneManager, and the scheduler service can do the same. The details of this remain to be worked out."

	Actually, we were leaning toward a Python module that would either live in the nova/ namespace, or the proposed openstack-common namespace. IMO, adding a database to the mix is not needed.

	Of course: http://wiki.openstack.org/DistributedScheduler
