Not only have I been able to install and successfully operate a OpenStack installation by (largely) following the documentation, but “trove-integration” and “redstack” are useful for developers but I would highly doubt that a production deployment of Trove would use ‘redstack’.

It is a bit harsh, to be sure. However critical areas are light/thin or 
not covered at all - and this is bound to generate a bit of frustration 
for folk wanting to use this feature.

In particular:

- guest image preparation
- guest file injection (/etc/guest_info) nova interaction
- dns requirements for guest image (self hostname resolv)
- swift backup config authorization
- api_extensions_path setting and how critical that is

There are probably more that I have forgotten (repressed perhaps...)!
