No, Baremetal will be a part of ASF CloudStack.
Baremetal1 is supported in CloudStack 2.2.x, it uses PING(Partimage Is Not =
Ghost) to provision pre-created image to bare metal host by general PXE/DHC=
P setup which is programmed by CloudStack.=20
However, starting with 3.0 CloudStack introduced NaaS(Network as Service) t=
hat requires all network participants to be coded in service/provider style=
,  the DHCP provider and PXE provider in baremetal fall into
it. I am working on porting 2.2.x to 3.0, once it's stabilized, I will push=
 it to ASF repo maybe on a topic branch first.
After that, I will start a discussion on maillist for baremetal2.0, the goa=
l is to support kick start file and security group (these features are Linu=
x only).
