Except this won't help anyone deploying with pip (which I know people
don't believe actually happens). That's not a valid pip version number
(neither 2015.1.0-3-g1373bfa nor stable-kilo are valid). If someone were
to use this archive with something like

    pip install 'keystone>=2015.1.0' --find-links
https://stable-archive.openstack.org/kilo/

Then they wouldn't find anything new. If the releases are to be
auto-versioned, they should be done in a different way.
