Open Stack

Ah. So maybe rather then filter out, gray out?

Thanks,

I sort of like the idea that the App Catalog can steer service
providers and solutions deployers to support more official OpenStack
services. Say I run ProviderX and haven't yet implemented/exposed
Heat to my customers. Now someone adds KillerAppY to
apps.openstack.org as a Heat template. It's entirely likely that
more customers may try to convince me to add Heat support (or will
start leaving for other providers who do). That's market pressure
driving companies toward better support for OpenStack, with a lot
more carrot than stick.
