Yep, I'm increasingly convinced of this. I'm planning to rewrite the
proposal as an abstract package configuration tool with a driver model
(so that the choice of puppet/chef/whatever can be handled depending on
the driver.)

Right on! That feature is exactly what I need. Is it available via KVM?

Sure. But, again, I think having this information available to (and
configurable by) nova will be much more useful than grafting a separate
tool onto the side of openstack.
