Let me add that if you are doing anything non trivial withe the CLI, you 
might want to think about just coding the whole thing in Python...which 
is, as you recall, we suggested Devstack go back about 5 years ago.  
There was a firm "stay in bash" push at the time, and so, yeah, we have 
a one-CLI call at a time install process.


Maybe it is time to revamp Devstack.  Is there some way that, without a 
major rewrite, it could take better advantage of the CLI? Could we group 
commands, or migrate sections to python scripts that really all need to 
be done together?  For example, most of the early prep of the Keystone 
server moved to keystone-manage bootstrap.  Is there more bootstrap-type 
behavior we can and should consolidate?
