It seems to me that at some point you need to have a recommended way of 
doing things, otherwise it's going to be *really hard* for someone to 
bring up an OpenStack installation.

We already run into issues with something as basic as competing SQL 
databases.  If every component has several competing implementations and 
none of them are "official" how many more interaction issues are going 
to trip us up?
