Sounds like a usage question. 

Apparently, a hybrid VM/BM deployment is possible via the usage of 
Host-Aggregates. So you'd have to tag your flavors and use some extra 
configuring to provision to baremetal or VM's depending on how you set up your 
host aggregates and use those flavors accordingly. 

Managing life-cycle through Overcloud agents if I understand correctly could 
perhaps be done with HEAT's Software Config model. There's this spec[1] being 
implemented for Juno which could be of interest to you.

I'd like to know however why Matthias thought what you asked was not possible. 
Perhaps, he has some insight on this.

Very short answer: you can not. We're dreaming of that, but it's not
developed that far (and might not be ready in Kilo).
