we are looking at integration in places we think they make sense and 
benefit ovirt by opening more options for users. we do try to provide 
the openstack services in a virtual appliance to make them easier to 
consume.
glance - image repo with a default glance.ovirt.org
neutron - for opening the ecosystem of SDN network solutions
    integrating with it
future: cinder - for opening the ecosystem of storage providers
    integrating with it.

I don't think currently the other services in openstack are relevant to 
ovirt.
