Open Stack

Hi,

I'm probably missing something, but not sure why multiple OpenStack
projects that only communicate through APIs would need to coexist in the
same virtual environment (which leads to exponential dependency hell).

Regardless of the deployment type or packager, makes sense to always have
exactly one virtual environment per OpenStack project. Projects have
various needs and priorities, own upgrade paths for third party libraries,
therefore totally independent requirements.txt. And all lib versions
pinpointed, no low or highs. The usual best practice.

So what am I missing?
