While this is certainly true, the experience with Nova is not unusual in that 
regard. There have always been highly opinionated people with conflicting 
ideas. Eventually a choice is made; occasionally it is by persuasion, but the 
exhaustion bit is there too. What we've seen in Nova over the years is that 
generally those who have different opinions eventually fall by the wayside, 
leaving behind those who share the opinion of the choice. It becomes 
self-selecting. There isn't any reason that a similar process will happen among 
those highly-opinionated placement people.

It was said in the #openstack-tc discussions, but for those on the mailing 
list, the biggest concern among the Nova core developers is that the consensus 
among Placement cores will certainly not align with the needs of Nova. I 
personally think that's ridiculous, and, as one of the very opinionated people 
involved, a bit insulting. No one wants to see either Nova or Placement to fail.
