Open Stack

This thread couldn't help but make me wonder what kind of problems people
hit developing on the linux kernel.

I discovered this pretty incredible article which seemed to have enough

Openstack and it's contributors are different enough that we can avoid
similar issues.

Gives some perspective at least...
