No, Baremetal will be a part of ASF CloudStack. Baremetal1 is supported in CloudStack 2.2.x, it uses PING(Partimage Is Not Ghost) to provision pre-created image to bare metal host by general PXE/DHCP setup which is programmed by CloudStack. However, starting with 3.0 CloudStack introduced NaaS(Network as Service) that requires all network participants to be coded in service/provider style, the DHCP provider and PXE provider in baremetal fall into it. I am working on porting 2.2.x to 3.0, once it's stabilized, I will push it to ASF repo maybe on a topic branch first. After that, I will start a discussion on maillist for baremetal2.0, the goal is to support kick start file and security group (these features are Linux only).
