I'd be quite interested in seeing where this could go, as there is a lot
of duplication in the charms' test code that could probably be
dramatically reduced by taking this approach! Could you propose a change
to one of the repos as an example that we could functionally validate,
as well as confirming the assumption that the only differences between
the bundles is the series, and openstack-origin/source configs?
