Thats one installation strategy :).

TripleO upstream doesn't offer a production-ready stamp for the
workload clouds; for deploy clouds we do - simply because you can't
use non-production-ready services to do your deploy... some of our
stamps have substantial caveats today (e.g. Heat) - but they are being
worked on.

But then Nova upstream doesn't offer production-ready stamps either.
Are cells production ready? Instance groups? Or generally any new
feature?

*distributions* of TripleO offer production ready stamps.

RDO offers one
HP Helion offers one.

In exactly the same way that distributions offer production stamps
about Nova, distributions that use TripleO offer production stamps
about Nova :).

And I think this is James's point. Your category 2 above saying that
TripleO is different is just confused: TripleO is a deployment
architecture [evolving into a set of such], *not* a distribution
channel. 1 and 3 are distribution channels.
