Certainly true, and sad, but "some" is a quantifier that starts at
greater than zero and runs on up from there :-)

IMO we non-managers also have to take responsibility for a system that
uses quantitative measures that "gamify" OpenStack performance.  Humans
respond to this kind of reward system.  They aren't (for that reason at
least) evil and the effect is not all that surprising.  The harder
question is whether there is a better way to set things up, or more to
the point, since many of us are sure there is, exactly what it is.
