<p class="MsoNormal">There is currently a cross project specification under review that changes how and where the config files are written for an OpenStack installation. If config options and how they are presented to you are important to you, I strongly suggest
you go out , read the spec/review and comment on both the aspects that work for you and the aspects that don't work for you. Be clear on explaining why something doesn't work, as the developers believe what they are proposing is what you would want. You
also might want to read the comments on version 6 of this review.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in">they also need to be aware of the relationships between the options.<o:p></o:p></p>
