My position is that a small, python-only, with no direct bindings to Ceph other than the CLI, should probably have the freedom of staying out of tree, and that it can keep up with older versions, and release often when bugs come up (as you've mentioned happened with ceph-deploy)
Release often in a single codestream? In other words, you are not planning to maintain separate codestreams for each stable branch of Ceph?
By the way, is there any other use for ceph-volume, other than as a tool for deploying OSDs? If not, I don't see the "no direct bindings to Ceph". It is bound to Ceph directly in that Ceph is the only reason for its existence.
