I'll comment that I've also been doing some thinking of how to make the quota code pluggable, perhaps even supporting an external service. I was initially thinking another service utilizing our rabbitmq-based RPC, but it could just as easily be REST-based. The caveat there, though, is that we really should have some sort of caching, which brings up the whole cache invalidation thing… > But, that said, I would not be opposed to having the quota/limits stuff > outside of Keystone.

I don't really understand why nova has exposed them through the same interface (/limits returns both as two separate dictionaries), but *shrug*. (I am certainly not recommending that we separate them, by the way ;) -- Kevin L.
