FWIW I agree with Jay that the wording "a product" is definitely
outdated and does not represent the current reality. "Product"
presupposes a level of integration that we never achieved, and which is,
in my opinion, not desirable at this stage. I think that saying "a
framework" would be more accurate today. Something like "OpenStack is
one community with one common mission, producing one framework of
collaborating components" would capture my thinking.
