Open Stack

I just made a general remark regarding why migrating to 2.7 is
profitable (I understood Bartek's question this way).

The point about Red Hat guaranteeing security fixes to 2.6 is a good
one. Also, it's true we don't use SSL for fuelclient so yes, if other
OpenStack projects keep 2.6 we should stick to it also.
