Highlighting a risk with putting 'compatible cloud' first: I have the
feeling that the worst case scenario would be that this would accelerate
centrifugal push out of OpenStack code base and into 'improved' code
bases, but 'compatible at API level'. We may end up with having less
attractivity for the central pieces of OpenStack.

Not necessarily bad per se, just something to be aware of and manage.
