Hey Steve,
All of the credential generation is optional right? I mean, as far as
kolla is concerned - it doesn't *need* to generate the passwords... If
/etc/kolla/passwords.yml is created outside of kolla-genpwd, then kolla
isn't creating any credentials itself and the algorithm, entropy and policy
is transparent to kolla.
