And I think we all appreciate that :)

As others have mentioned, we are always adapting and continuously 
improving. Now that we completed the community-centric redefinition of 
OpenStack (the "big tent"), we are I think in a better position to push 
the sort of cross-project initiatives and normalization that you are 
looking for. For example, we talked recently about having the Technical 
Committee set "release goals" to drive simple coherence and visible 
improvements across all the components of the stack.
