For the record, I hate the current over all version scheme of OpenStack.
The complexities generated by making the code reliant on access to the git
repository it came from is problematic for many packaging scenarios.  And
the cost to benefit seems unfairly biased towards code maintainers at the
moment.

But that's a different discussion.
