​Great stuff, mixed on point 2 raised by Vish but honestly I think that's
something that could evolve over time, but I looked at that differently as
in Cinder, SWIFT and some day Manilla live under a Storage Services
umbrella, and ideally at some point there's some convergence there.

Anyway, I don't want to start a rat-hole on that, it's kind of irrelevant
right now.  Bottom line is I think the direction and initial ideas in
Monty's post are what a lot of us have been thinking about and looking for.
 I'm in!!​
