I do want end-users to have CDN, I do. And I'm a pragmatist as well so the
"open core" arguments aren't as important to me.

That said, for me, since poppy itself doesn't offer/run/maintain the
service but instead simply offers an API on top of CDN provider's APIs, I
don't think it's necessary to govern it in OpenStack.
