Hi all - I believe paste.deploy configures web server gateway interfaces (wsgi) - which are an interface between web servers and Python web applications or frameworks. I think of this config change as applicable to people building web consoles and the like. Plus it cleans up the interface layers to APIs which brings Nova more in alignment with Swift's layered approach.
To answer Armando's question, I see it this way. Any paste.deploy configurations would be used for API-level calls to a web server to do something (provision a server, show state of instances, etc.) with the Nova cloud. Configuration of the Nova cloud itself (how it does networking, where the database lives, etc.) remains in nova.conf. As for documentation, I'd like to encourage everyone who reviews a merge proposal to ask for documentation, however lightweight, to be included with the merge. That's how we build world-class doc. Todd is a great docs writer, so I'm not picking on him at all! :) I'm just saying that this project embraces a distributed documentation system just as much as it embraces a distributed coding system.
