Open Stack

Hi Mark,

Thank you very much for the detailed response, I will raise a flag for the
network-l2-CRUD problem.

Regarding our volumes_action problem, I think the rationale for our choice
of implementation is that as a public cloud provider, operations such as
mount/unmount are ok to be provided to the users, but operations like
"attach, detach, reserve" are better used internally (hiding behind for
example "Elastice Volume Service" which is provided by the public cloud).
As I understand this is not a deliberate bypassing of the basic defcore
requirements, but rather a common public cloud implementation choice.

Would the above explanation sound reasonable to you ?
