This was discussed at several sessions the design summit, so I
brought it up at the keystone 'state of the nation' session to
get a feel for the keystone community's disposition to the idea.

There was in-principle agreement that storing such data in the
keystone backend is a reasonable approach (well, no strong objections
in any case).

The idea is that the determining if a user is over-quota is related
to authorization in the sense that it determines whether a user
normally authorized to consume a resource is allowed to do so in
this particular case.

>From an implementation point, it would also aid greatly in allowing
the nova quotas infrastructure to be promoted to openstack-common
and hence be reused by other projects such as glance.
