You beat me to it, Paul.

I think using lables to communicate the version of each openstack software
installed in the image is the way to go here. We're looking into doing this
ourselves as part of the RDO pipeline and it'd be awesome to have it being part
of kolla-build itself. Steve Baker, I believe, was working on this.

The more explicit we are about the contents of the image, the better. People
want to know what's in there, rather than assuming based on the tag.
