Hi Matthew,

I think I've come around to that thinking now too.

Despite using different keys, the 2 sets of clients in different OpenStack
clusters would require the same capabilities on the shared pools, which
widens the blast radius a bit too far for me, I think (unless there were
also a capability to restrict the sets of clients' keys to specific
namespaces within the shared pools similar to the caps given out to CephFS
clients)

Thanmks,
Paul
