Replying to the list for completeness sake: The only thing that changes from that perspective is that the block storage API remains part of Nova. We will have a separate service that will be implemented as a driver that plugs into nova. We will continue to focus on the commodity storage part of the puzzle, where Nova will continue the API and orchestration.
