This is what I was talking about, trying to take advantage of the
interactive mode that also reads from stdin to do a series of comamnds with
a single load/auth cycle.  It lacks a LOT of things for a resilient use
case such as DevStack (error abort or error ignore?, branching, everything
a DSL would bring).

And if you'd like to replace stach.sh with stack.py, I'll not stop you,
just don't call it DevStack.  Now you are building yet another deployment
tool.  We've also been down that road before. It may well be time to retire
DevStack, be sure to let us know when those willing to sponsor that work
show up so they can attempt to learn from some of our mistakes and not
repeat them the hard way.
