It is objective technical data, but atm we are excluded, and people look
at that objective technical data (like marketing and sales folks) to make
decisions, so it is by its very nature a marketing resource as well.  If
we are excluded, sales and marketing folks that make decisions about
OpenStack deployments may come along and say "not on the website, not
legitimate".
