Sean took a concept meant for organizing the relationships in DevStack and Grenade and made it relatable to OpenStack as a whole. This brings it out where we can actually use it as a model. I do think there is value in distinctions between the original layers 1,2 and 3 (you combined 1 and 2). But for non-technical purposes 1 and 2 are indeed the same. Suggestion 6: Isn't it funny how everything old is new again? The DevStack exercises started out as exactly this, then grew more functional over time until Tempest came along. How hipster is that? Suggestion 9: Wouldn't it be wonderful if a small set of cloud definition files could be used for the myriad of user tools out there? Standards, we don't have enough of them! In the long term I would like to see more of our base (toolsets and services) be pluggable so that the less-blessed projects can participate without requiring additions to the base repos. This should also be true for user-facing tools. OpenStackClient already picks up installed plugins with the proper entry points configured so everything doesn't need to be in the primary repo to play along. dt -- Dean Troyer dtro...@gmail.com
