+A number of modules from openstack-common are imported into the project.

+These modules are "incubating" in openstack-common and are kept in sync
+with the help of openstack-common's update.py script. See:

+
+The copy of the code should never be directly modified here. Please
+always update openstack-common first and then run the script to copy
