The inclusion of AGPLv3 code is not in question here. As Kevin puts it:

  "The drivers that Marconi uses are Apache2 licensed, MongoDB is
   separated by the network stack and MongoDB is not exposed to the
   Marconi users so I don't think the 'A' part of the GPL really kicks
   in at all"

As best I can tell, we're really talking about how seriously OpenStack
should take users potentially being concerned about deploying *any*
AGPLv3 code in their infrastructure.
