    Please, please, please, I'm having PTSD just remembering that
    @#$%@#%$ file.  I think I was able to successfully deploy without
    major engineering help about 2% of the time.  We absolutely,
    positively, MUST maintain the validation.<br>
    <br>
    Just because the people installing OpenStack are generally not
    afraid to edit config files doesn't mean that we should be making
    them do it.<span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br>
