There's a summary of what Meiji might mean to historians. I'm not sure if
OpenStack needs to be too concerned about this, but I believe this is what
Ian is referring to as "historical and political debates in East Asia."

Seems like a hot-button name for OpenStack to adopt.

Excerpts from Ian Y. Choi's message of 2015-07-07 05:40:52 -0700:
