The benefit I saw of shade packaged with RDO is that it depends on the openstack python libs. The integrated configuration provided by RDO where I don't have to depend on EPEL is an advantage from a package management point of view. It is much easier to trace provenance of our build when we're not trying to keep extra stuff from EPEL sneaking in as we do upgrades where version's may not match up on all sources.

Are there any plans to package the shade client library as part of RDO? We are heavy users of Ansible and RDO and the Ansible OpenStack modules for the upcoming 2.0 release have been being rewritten to depend on shade. Having a version of shade packaged along with the other RDO packages in the release would be quite useful.
Ansible is already part of Fedora. Shade should be a Fedora-first library. RDO can then make use of it.
In general, client tools are going to go into Fedora, but not necessarily all of the server pieces. This makes sense from a Desktop perspective; to interact with an RDO deployment, you need the OpenStack client on your workstation. RDO will be responsbility for only handling the server pieces; the amount of effort it has taken to keep OpenStack services running on Fedora has been deemed a bridge too far; RDO will focus on CentOS based deployments.
RDO will then pull whatever client pieces it requires from Fedora. Shade does not necessarily have be part of RDO; it could be pulled in via EPEL, but having Shade in and Ansible Openstack modules in RDO seems like a natural fit.
If this is something where community participation would be helpful I'd be happy to try to help out if someone had details on what would need to be done.
