Hi,
are there plans to rename the eventlet_backdoor.py module used in the
OpenStack code at various places?

The naming is bad and creates the impression that a backdoor is in
OpenStack. In the current situation it might be an issue the
press/blogs are waiting for.

Even if renamed the openstack documentation should make it very clear
what happens if the admins switches on this option.

What do you think?

Best,
Thomas
