Whiteboard

Moving to Havana. This will require some changes to fit within the context of the planned IPv6 changes.

2014-05-22 (carl_baldwin) - We are starting some work on making IPAM pluggable in Neutron (https://blueprints.launchpad.net/neutron/+spec/neutron-ipam). This work should be considered in that interface but should be deferred until we've completed that work.

--- Old Notes

The reviews will be mark as Work in Progress until master opens for Havana.
