Yeah, I know all of the above, which is why I said I don't really care about the
implementation detail of things. I think the knowledge the folks in fuel-ccp
have and the knowledge folks in the kolla team have could produce a base
knowledge for folks looking into deploying OpenStack on kubernetes.

It'd be great to see this happening and I'm sure teams would benefit from it
too.
