/me raises hand!

At the moment, I got a nearly full Queens stack up and running on top of
Debian Stretch, using Python 3 only (and of course all of that is also
uploaded to Debian Sid). The puppet-openstack scenario001 works fully
without SSL, last week I could fix cinder, today Glance (thanks to Matt)
and Nova, and it's looking like I got one remaining issue with Neutron
that I didn't have time to investigate fully yet (got to dig in the
logs). But it's looking good. Hopefully, next week I'll be able to tell
everything works.

So, have a try with Debian? :)
