[Vishvananda Ishaya <vishvananda@xxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks for the feedback. It is good to get input from one of the largest openstack installs! So it sounds like the existing code is pretty broken. Based on this feedback I would like to propose the following:

1) cut out zones code
  (meaning merge the existing branch)

2) grant an FFe for the new rpc based zone code as long is it can be merged without heavily modifying core.

This means:
a) it should be deployable with the feature disabled
b) it should only include minor modifications to core components
c) if a major change is needed to distributed_scheduler (for example), consider leaving the existing version in, and copying the code to a new file (distributed_scheduler_v2) and doing the modifications there.  That way we can minimize chances of breakage
d) it needs to be merged by the 15th


Does that seem reasonable?

MercadoLibre is trying to use it for example. I know you guys are trying to replace this with something better, but it would be nice not to break people for 7+ months
