Morgan,

Bit more radical :) I am inclined to just yank all code from oslo-incubator and
let the projects modify/move what they have left into their own package/module
structure (and change the contracts however they see fit).

Glad this conversation is happening, I've started to think about this
as well. I think we're at a point were we could just let projects move
from were they are.

However, I'd like this to be a bit more organized. For instance, if we
dismiss oslo-incubator and let projects move forward on their own,
it'd be better to have all the `openstack/common/` packages renamed so
that it'll create less confusion to newcomers. At the very least, as
Morgan mentioned, these packages could be prefixed with an `_` and
become 'private' and 'owned' by the project.

We still need a 'deprecation' process for the code in the
oslo-incubator repository and we would still have to accept fixes for
previous releases.

Thoughts?
Flavio

   Over time oslo incubator has become less important as most things are
   simply becoming libraries from the get-go. However, there is still code in
   incubator and particularly Keystone client has seen an issue where the
   incubator code is considered a "public api" by consuming projects.

   I would like to start the conversation of moving all incubator modules to
   be prefixed by "_" indicating they are not meant for public consumption. I
   expect that if there is not a large uproar here on the mailing list, that I
   will propose a spec to oslo shortly to make this change possible.

   What I am looking for before the spec happens, is the view from the
   community on making this type of change and bringing modules private (and
   associated concerns).

   Cheers,
