The ironic team is working [1] on merging Inspector into Ironic. There will be several work items related to this, the first being the new node inventory API [2] based on the existing introspection data API. A tricky part will be to avoid hardcoding data structures that are not formally defined. Currently, gophercloud takes a pretty relaxed approach to this problem, simply assuming the internal Inspector data does not change. With the migration to Ironic, it will change, and we need to take that into account.
