I was recently bitten by a case where some defaults in keystone.conf were not appropriate for real deployment, and our puppet modules were not providing better values https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1064061. Since there are hundreds (thousands?) of options across all the services. I am wondering whether there are other similar issues lurking and if we have done what we can to flush them out.

Defaults in conf files seem to be one of the following:

- Generic, appropriate for most situations
- Appropriate for devstack
- Appropriate for small, distro-based deployment
- Approprate for large deployment

Upstream, I don't think there is a shared view of how defaults should be chosen.

Keeping bad defaults can have a huge impact on performance and when a system falls over but the problems may not be visible until some time after a system gets into real use. Have the folks creating our puppet modules and install recommendations taken a close look at all the options and determined that the defaults are appropriate for deploying RHEL OSP in the configurations we are recommending?
