[openstack-dev] Cells design issue

Are the group names programmatically computed/accessed?   Ie, do you do something like:  Figure out what plugins are loaded.  Then look at CONF.<plugin_name>.<variable> ?

I still think maybe JSON is more what we need for cells… but just curious.

So, I guess you'd have to dynamically create the config groups with cell name as the group name… and have some sort of global option or an option in a different config group that specifies the list of cells.  I think it just gets kinda nasty.  But let me know if I'm missing a good way to do it.  It seems like JSON is going to be a little more flexible. :)
