I believe we are missing a key point, which is what is the purpose
of the install guide? If it is just to help folks quickly get
OpenStack or are we also trying to teach them about OpenStack as
they install it to help them become proficient and quickly as
possible? If we decide on the purpose of the book then many of these
other detail will resolve themselves.<br>

<div>Admittedly, the only upside is that crudini is not
guaranteed to be easily available on all distributions.
For Ubuntu, it's only available in Ubuntu 14.04, for
example. </div>

think awkward is a bit of an understatement here and
suggesting that this isn't a "special tool" that also

things - in either case it's something the user is going
to have to handle in the prerequisites and ensure they
repeat on each node (and make sure it takes effect for
each session for iniset).<br>

<div>Fair, but it can be simplified by just doing a "wget"
or something similar.</div>

<div>The upside of iniset is that it's portable and is
known to work on all distributions. As soon as a
distribution lacks support, or drops support, for
crudini, the installation instructions are now broke.</div>
