Open Stack

Hi,

I think this is a great suggestion from Sean, and I agree with the words 
from Curtis as well.

I work at a public cloud company and during our years with OpenStack we 
have seen a lot of things not suited for a public cloud. As Sean 
mentions, public cloud providers do their own fixes to get around this, 
and it would be much better with a joined force contributing this back 
to the community in a structured way.

Regards,
Tobias
