It can be a sub-package of existing iscsi-related things, ie contained within the existing open-iscsi _source_ repository. But having is packaged _together_ with another rpm is really bad. Plus it makes updating a nightmare. So, Mike, what about having it as a sub-package to open-iscsi? I'm all for it, especially as some partners are already asking for it ...
