+Devstack plugin support
+=======================
+
+https://blueprints.launchpad.net/heat/+spec/heat-support-devstack-plugin
+
+DevStack supports a standard mechanism for including plugins from external
+repositories. So add devstack plugin for heat.
+
+Problem description
+===================
+
+Devstack support external plugins as documented here:
+http://docs.openstack.org/developer/devstack/plugins.html
+By enabling this plugin, we just need to properly set up devstack
+local[rc] file to be able to setup heat.
+A good example is ironic one:
+https://review.openstack.org/#/q/topic:ironic-devstack-plugin
+
+Proposed change
+===============
+
+1. Introduce devstack plugin.
+
+   An external git repository that includes a devstack/ top level directory.
+   Inside this directory there can be the following files::
+
+        devstack/
+            override-defaults
+            settings
+            plugin.sh
+            lib/
+
+    plugin.sh is the actual plugin. It is executed by devstack at well defined
+    points during a stack.sh run.
+
+    Plugins are registered by adding the following to the localrc section of
+    local.conf. They are added in the following format::
+
+        [[local|localrc]]
+        enable_plugin heat https://git.openstack.org/openstack/heat
+
+   The detailed introduction is here:
+   http://docs.openstack.org/developer/devstack/plugins.html
+
+2. Steps to support devstack plugin in heat.
+
+step1: Copy devstack code to heat tree.
+
+step2: Add devstack plugin
+This adds the actual devstack plugin, devstack should not run the heat code
+in the devstack tree.
+
+step3: Add a heat job to use devstack plugin.
+After heat has a devstack plugin in tree. Make a job to be able to test that
+it works, non-voting, before we actually switch everything over and drop the
+devstack code.
+
+step4. Switch all heat jobs to use devstack plugin
+
+step5. Remove heat code from project openstack-dev/devstack
