If you look at the Oslo "mission statement(s)": https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Oslo The Oslo program produces a set of python libraries containing infrastructure code shared by OpenStack projects. The APIs provided by these libraries should be high quality, stable, consistent and generally useful. The Oslo program brings together generalist code reviewers and specialist API maintainers. They share a common interest in tackling copy-and-paste technical debt across the OpenStack project. then the overlap with openstack/requirements isn't at all obvious. Not to try and lump this solely on Thierry or anything, but I see this as a release/distribution management concern - the fundamental question is what external dependencies (and what version of those) is it sane for us to require in order to deploy OpenStack? Looking again at the review criteria: https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Requirements those questions are all about keeping a firm control over what external risks we expose ourselves (e.g. flakey upstreams) and that the dependency is compatible with our release goals (e.g. license, python version, distro availability).
