OpenStack Operators have a tools landing repository [1] that didn't/doesn't
have the same level of requirements the rest of the OpenStack code
typically does, so organizations could open source internal. potentially
untested, scripts but not have to necessarily adhere to all of the usual
requirements. Over time the code in that repository could be improved and
moved out once it made sense.

I think it's worthwhile to have useful internal code open sourced, and in
some cases make it a bit easier to do so, and if the code/tool gets used
then start improving it following general standards. This would require a
new repository.

Just a thought. :)

Thanks,
Curtis
