Is OpenStack-Ansible now going to get into the minutae of operating
the entire cloud? I was under the impression that it left the easy
things to the operators (e.g., deciding when and how to purge the
database) while taking care of the things that are less obvious
(setting up OpenStack, and interacting with the database directly to
only set up things for the services).
