Given that Pecan is used for other OpenStack projects and has plenty of
builtin functionality (REST support, sessions, etc) I'd prefer it for a
number of reasons.

1) Wouldn't have to pull in plugins for standard (in Pecan) things
2) Pecan is built for high traffic, where Flask is aimed at much smaller
projects
3) Already used by other OpenStack projects, so common patterns can be
reused as oslo libs

Of course, the Flask community seems larger (though the average flask
project seems pretty small).

I'm not sure what determines "production readiness", but it seems to me
like Fuel developers fall more in Pecan's target audience than in Flask's.

My $0.02,
Ryan
