I didn't go into details on that point because honestly I also could use 
some written words explaining the differences for TripleO in doing the 
upgrade and migration in-step with the Stein upgrade versus upgrading to 
Stein and then upgrading to Train, and how the migration with that is 
any less painful. I know Dan talked about it on the call, but I can't 
say I followed it all well enough to be able to summarize the pros/cons 
(which is why I didn't in my summary email). This might already be 
something I know about, but the lights just aren't turning on right now.
