Why would the account need to change? Can the swift account reference in keystone be set to the old value? If not, then yes you will have 2 swift accounts.

However, the account format has changed (under Keystone).  So, if I have lazy provisioning on (account_autocreate), would I *accidentally* have 2 Swift accounts instead of one?  Ideally, if I can "migrate" all the old account Ids to use the new format, that would guarantee consistency between the old accounts and any newly-created accounts.  Am I missing something here?

Under Keystone (with swift_auth and Swift's lazy provisioning), I see the Swift account now has the format <reseller_prefix>_<tenantId>.  So, if we have existing Swift account data with the old format, how would one go about migrating from the old format to the Keystone format?  Is there a plan to do so within the Diablo time-frame?
