If I were to put on my former sysadmin hat, I would always strongly prefer to use packages for things, so I have the weight of the distro vendor behind me (particularly if I only have a few hundred servers and want a 6 month upgrade cadence with easy access to security fixes between upgrades). I'm not necessarily advocating for or against tripleo supporting packages as a source of openstack, but I do think it is likely that some/many users will have their reasons for wanting to leverage our tools without following all of our preferred processes. What I am advocating though, is that if there is a need and someone gives us a patch that satisfies it without hurting our preferred processes, we look favourably on it. I would rather have users on the road to doing things our way, than be immediately turned away or forced into dramatically forking us.
