These questions are to the operators, and should be asked on openstack-operators 
IMO (maybe with tuning the overall tone to be a bit less aggressive).

Let's not seriously talk about keystone v4 at this point, we haven't gotten rid 
of v2 so far.

I suspect any external SSL termination proxy. And anything else that will make 
the URLs exposed to end users look different from ones exposed to services.

Speaking of DNS, I also suspect there may be a micro-optimization in not making 
the services use it when talking to each other, while still providing names to 
end users.
