Zane and I chatted on IRC and he is going to attend the manila 
community meeting tomorrow, November 1, at 1500 UTC in 
#openstack-meeting-alt to follow up and solicit feedback.  If you are 
unable to attend the meeting and have points to make or questions 
please follow up in this thread or in the review mentioned above.
