A typical swift has the ability to allow for public access to swift
itself, so this shouldn't be an issue.  We should survey our available
swifts and make sure of this.  I'm not currently advocating that we use
non-standard swifts (i.e., ones which require non-standard API calls to
retrieve CDN urls, etc).

I'd love to get out of the middleware business entirely if we can.  It
causes large, disruptive outages when it breaks.
