Swift in Go demonstrated that it's not the ini format that's the problem
for reimplementation, the paste-deploy is. In particular, the names from
pipeline= define section names, and egg names define what code is executed.
So one can have "pipeline=keystone app", but [keystone] section is actually
use=egg:swift#tempauth, not Keystone. It's pefectly legal and will work
today, even if such a configuration is a hostile move against future
coworkers.
