Correct, cells only applies to single-vendor distributed deployments. In
both its current and future forms, it uses private APIs for
communication between the components, and thus isn't suited for a
multi-vendor environment.

Just MHO, but building functionality into existing or new components to
allow deployments from multiple vendors to appear as a single API
endpoint isn't something I have much interest in.
