Keystone has no official policy, just a firm awareness that things can 
get unbalanced.  Right now, Keystone is more IBM than any other single 
company, but there is sufficient representation from HP and Rackspace to 
balance it out.  Only on Red Hatter at the Moment, and one from CERN.

I think balance is important, not just between companies, but between 
industries.  The RH-IBM-HP view is more enterprise focused, and 
Rackspace is more Public cloud focused.  This is the real aspect of 
balance that is essential to Keystone.
