The ASF is vendor-neutral and does not include multiple quotes from a single vendor. Right now we only have testimonials from folks employed by ShapeBlue. How is it that we cannot find a single other user to participate? @Rohit, I'd like us to consider holding off on announcing this until Monday. Let's give folks a chance to respond to the request. Is there a reason to rush this out for tomorrow? It's not CloudStack itself, and it's been a few years since the last major release, so there *should* be a bit of wiggle room here. Your thoughts on this?
