I originally cobbled together  https://github.com/jogo/DevstackUp  to run
devstack locally as there were no good alternatives at the time.  I would
be really happy to see a vagrant devstack runner that looks more like how
infra does it.

One of my biggest issues with running devstack in vagrant is how slow it is
to set everything up, there are a lot of packages to install. Hopefully
with one consolidated devstack vagrant we can address this.


On a related note, I have stopped using vagrant and just use nova on a
public cloud.
