Ok, this makes sense.  I generally assume that people deploying OpenStack
have some integration work to do anyway.  So, for me, writing a few python
methods isn't much different than writing a configuration file.  Having
said this, I do understand where you are coming from here.

I do believe that a static key configuration is a useful starting place for
a lot of users.  I spoke with Joel this morning and I think he is going to
try to put together an example key management driver that does this today.
 Such a solution would allow deployers to use their existing orchestration
tools to write a key to a configuration file.
