If drivers were to live in separate projects we would be forced to maintain Nova internal code as stable APIs to avoid breaking drivers during the dev cycle. This would place a significant burden on Nova development and have a negative impact on the overal ease of development. It would also discourage collaboration and sharing of code between virt drivers, which is already a significant problem today whereby drivers come up with different ways todo the same thing. If you want to be isolated from the community in a separate project then expect your code to be broken periodically during development. If you don't want that, then put the code in tree and be an active part of the community effort working together, instead of in isolation.
