I don't have a problem with eventlet itself going away, but I do feel that keystone should pick a python based web server capable of running WSGI apps ( such as uWSGI ) for the reference implementation rather than Apache which can be declared appropriately in the requirements.txt of the project. I feel it is important to allow the operator to make choices based on their organization's skill sets ( i.e. apache vs nginx ) to help keep complexity low.
I understand there are some newer features that rely on Apache ( federation, etc ) but we should allow the need for those features inform the operators choice of web server rather than force it for everybody. Having a default implementation using uWSGI is also more inline with the 12 factor way of writing applications and will run a lot more comfortably in [application] containers than apache would which is probably an important consideration given how many people are focused on being able to run openstack projects inside containers.
