I want to be careful here to not let an expectation develop that DevStack
should be used in any long-running deployment.  Refreshing a VM or a new OS
install on bare metal should be expected, often. IMO the only bits that you
should expect to refresh quickly are the git repos.

clean.sh makes an attempt to remove enough of OpenStack and its
dependencies to be able to change the configuration, such as switching
databases or adding/removing services, and re-run stack.sh.  I'm not a fan
of tracking installed OS package dependencies and Python packages so it can
all be undone. But the above is a bug...
