I don't agree. Poppy could leverage a multi-datacneter OpenStack
deployment, and deploy a CDN using that. If Poppy's team didn't
implement it, who's fault is it?

There's *many* reverse proxies available. There's ways to account for
used bandwidth in OpenStack. There's even manila to share the published
content on multiple VMs and scale horizontally. We just need a bit of
glue around all of this, which Poppy could leverage to deploy a CDN on
top of OpenStack. But that's not the current implementation.

IMO, a middleware to access proprietary SaaS may be fully open. But it's
not OpenStack, as Sean Dague wrote.
