The concept/name of controller was copied over from nova when the docs were imported. That concept doesn't really fit in with placement and also does not describe what the docs are actually doing. We're not installing a controller, we're installing placement. Thus filenames and titles are updated and intro paragraphs clarified. Also, the endpoints.rst file is moved into a shared directory as it is not a standalone install doc. Note that the big warning remains on the top of the install docs because it is still true. These instructions and the packages they mention have not been verified. Story: 2005190 Change-Id: I5fcbc90eda3ef74dba2336ea3e5c9f53938c6378
If you are viewing this README on GitHub, please be aware that placement development happens on OpenStack git and OpenStack gerrit.

In all other cases use the master OpenStack bug tracker, available at:
