Likely to be rejected as shade lives in openstack-infra namespace.

Well, we've had requests to provide a separate repository consumable
for openstack infra
but until now, the discussion stalled due to lack of people driving it.

We could create an rdo-extras EL7 repository that would contain:
* latest stable clients + SDK
* minor utilities that are only available in EPEL (or possibly a
separate repo if it grows too much)
