OK, understood - so I guess that being the case we may end up having some 
duplication between there and meta-python. Not that I intend to do any 
wholesale copying, but if we need a dependency or if it makes sense to add a 
recipe currently in meta-openstack to meta-python for the purposes of making 
it more widely usable, I don't see much of an option but to have it in both 
places.

Cheers,
Paul
