Not WSGI, paste.deploy. At the last summit we discussed dropping paste because it does not have python 3 support. No timetable was set. 

I pushed the use of flask in ceilometer because when I looked at the WSGI libraries in nova they were not available in common and I didn't feel I had time to figure out which bits needed to be extracted to copy them into our project. I also found them to be more complex than I wanted to deal with, since I didn't find any tutorials for using them.

Why does openstack have it's own WSGI library? Does it provide special features necessary for making openstack services?
