Fair point. When the "VM/baremetal workgroup" was originally formed,
the goal was more about building clouds with both types of resources,
making them behave similarly from a user perspective, etc. Somehow
we got into talking applications and these other topics came up, which
seemed more interesting/pressing to fix. :)

Maybe "cross-project identity integration" or something is a better name?
