    Now that packages have started to drop it's Install Guide season, so
    I've been talking to Matt about what needs to be done, and here's
    where we are:

    Structurally, we've all sort of decided that we're not going to make
    any unnecessary changes, so there's not a huge amount of work to
    do.  Also, based on the Ubuntu packages, it appears that aside from
    determining which of the handful of workarounds we had to add for
    Icehouse are still necessary for Juno, hopefully we won't have a ton
    to do.  Most of the changes so far involve configuration files...
    just a handful of distro/packaging workarounds so far and no doubt
    those will change prior to release. He's also trying to replace
    MySQL with MariaDB, except for SLES, and remove support for RHEL 6.x
    and Ubuntu 12.04. Other changes may include minor adjustments to
    nova-network -- "(it won't go away!)" -- to make it mirror neutron
    more closely with the concept of internal (tenant) and external
    (floating IP) networks.


    Note that this is based on the Ubuntu packages, which are themselves
    based on Milestone 2, and NOT Milestone 3, so that could of course
    change when we get the final, and when we start digging into other
    distros.

    When we get this done, Matt estimates that we should be about 85%
    towards completion of the "Improve the Install Guide" project; there
    are still some sections that need rewriting for quality, but not
    necessarily for content. (In other words, they work, but they can be
    better written.)  The last big chunk of the install guide
    improvements project involves Swift, and he feels that the ability
    to tag someone familiar with it would help move patches. He's also a
    bit concerned about trove, and I'm going to work with him to find
    out what's needed there and track sown some resources. The remaining
    improvements include networking (which served as a baseline for many
    of the improvements) and a consistency validation for the entire
    guide (after some subjective review issues).
