As a data point, since I heard that question rhetorically asked quite a 
few times over the past year... There is an old answer to that, since a 
vote of the PPB (the ancestor of our TC) from June, 2011 which was never 
overruled or changed afterwards:

"OpenStack is a single product made of a lot of independent, but 
cooperating, components."

The log is an interesting read:
