Another approahc would be to put the code into a "sandbox" in the libcloud tree (your proposal of a parallel environment) and see how things go? If Eric is ammenable (since he's offering the code) to work in parallel the community would get a first hand perspective on what things would look like. If it doesn't work out because either party isn't happy you delete the sandbox, Eric chooses another project and it was a noble attempt. Otherwise, the two implementations don't look so bad, people are interested in consuming them and the community grows.
