Open Stack

+1 from me (although I've already contributed to osprofiler so my vote
might not count, ha). Anyway, people can poke me as well if they have
any questions about osprofiler and boris isn't around. I'm happy to
answer any questions as well...

Thanks boris for getting this rolling again...

Another question, do we need to talk with the people doing the
request_id integration into clients to make sure that the trace_id (or
whatever its called) is returned to clients...

I believe that was one of the original complaints/questions, is that
with osprofiler there is now 2 trace like headers
(https://github.com/openstack/osprofiler/blob/master/osprofiler/web.py#L36)
and such being sent around, should we nail that down now and put that
complaint/question to bed?
