Sure, but if this code continues being ignored, then I don't see how
we have a choice long term.

So a few questions:

 - who currently ships a private cloud with EC2 enabled?
 - who has a public cloud with EC2 enabled?

These seem like the obvious places to talk to people about helping us
get this code maintained before we're forced to drop it. Unfortunately
we can't compel people to work on things, but we can make it in their
best interests.

A followup question as well -- there's a proposal to implement the
Nova v2 API on top of the v3 API. Is something similar possible with
EC2? Most of the details of EC2 have fallen out of my brain, but I'd
be very interested in if such a thing is possible.
